Yea I have 3 total yellows and they are sweet.....I plan on letting some things grow for a bit. Recoup on spending and chill.....I might get one more yuma but nothing more then that.I will have updated pics in a few days most of those have only been in the tank a week or 2 at the most.....The yuma I got yesterday from Aqua-SD is huge even bigger then it was in the pics.....The pink yuma is almost to bright for my coolpix it keeps over saturating the macro mode....

That is pretty sweet......I would have more right now but got a infection of some protozoa....I would have about between 30-50 more.

I have a 30x30x8T frag tank that will be lit by a single 250w MH. I plan on putting a 12x12 eggcrate in the middle and allowing rics/yumas grown in the crushed seashell sand bed all around the frag rack.

I have found by seperating with a single slice of the foot, they reproduce like crazy! I will slice the foot of a ric 3-4 times and in a week i will have 3-4 more baby rics than before! I plan on getting maybe 5-6 different colors and letting them go crazy like he has!

Good to see your love for the rics is still going strong. What changed to allow you to keep Yuma?

The only thing I do different then the last 10 years is I switched salt from RC to Red Sea Pro.......Other then that everything has been done the same so honestly that is the only thing I can think of....

Slicing the foot of which kind? Yumas or ricordea?
