Ricordea Question

Sully · May 31, 2014

I got my first ricordea back around the beginning of April. It dropped it's first baby the beginning of May and looks as if it's dropped another one in the last week. Is it normal for them to drop babies this fast?

You should be thrilled. Sure it's normal. Ricordia will let you know right away if they are not happy and it's not by increasing their population.

Thanks! I'm hoping so.

Well, it turns out that I think it's actually a Yuma! Here's a couple photos though.

First one is when it first went in tank.

These two are just a couple weeks ago after it started dropping babies and moved.

Are the babies the round things sticking out around the base of the shroom in the first pic?

No, the babies are actually in the second one. I've modified the photo and drew an outline around the two babies. You can see it below. The things you're referring to in the first photo are aome kind of polyp or paly (ID anyone?)
