Thought i might comment on Aussie Acans
The ones in my post I collected recreationally (as frags mostly - a few whole colonies) in an area that is off limits to commercial collectors (AFAIK)
I have NEVER seen colours like them in any of our LFS here. Always boring browns with occasional bits of green or red. If you search the Aussie forums you will find very few ppl have fabulous Acans here - before or after exporting was allowed.
Im wondering why/how all of a sudden collectors are finding the fabulous colours that you folk are posting?! I suspect the increase in profits for them arent great enough to justify significant change in collector behaviours (eg distance offshore they are prepared to go)
Surely these colour variations would have been targeted for collection/ sale here in oz before exporting started - we do prefer buying, and pay more for, colours over browns too!
confused...
