I'm not sure there is a "trick" to keeping them alive. The trick is getting a healthy one in the first place. Whatever bane has plagued the indo catalaphylias for the last six+ years that we see, doesn't *appear* to come in on the Aussie elegances, though anecdotal evidence shows that if stored in the same system, the Aussie variety will contract said illness and perish.

So buy Aussie... and hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as so many indos of late.
