    Default Green Open Brain (Care and Feeding?)

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I just purchased a beautiful bright floresent green Open Brain. I have never cared for an open brain and the salesman didn't have much knowledge. A couple of hours after getting it into my tank, it expanded much bigger than it was in the store. They had it under VHO's, and I have it under Power Compacts. So my question is will this live with Power Compacts (4 Watts per Gallon) and is there anything else I need to know to keep this healthy and happy. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Chris#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    If it is hardy, I will find a way to kill it. Just Kidding!

    they should do allright just keep him high in the tank. I spot feed mine about once a week. with pieces of shiner or some mysis shrimp. But I would think he would be allright with PC's

    Be carefull how high up u keep it. I bleached mine out in a Nano Tank!! I would try lower first then move up if had to.
