cal3v Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Nice rics dude, I like the first one particularly. Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Thanks Cal... yeah yellow is definately tough to come by in ricordea land... I'll post some more pics when the settle in in a few weeks... Link to comment
cal3v Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yes please let us know how it turns out, I've gotten a yellow before but under halides it morphed to orange, it was just bleached and thats why it was yellow. I've also heard of greens doing that as well. If its a true yellow which imo it is, that's a cool piece. Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yeah I have no idea which it is... we'll see... I had to convince the guy in my club I got it off of to sell it to me as he had a bunch of them similar to this that he was waiting to see on if they were true yellow. I convinced him anyway... the guy is a ricordea nut (a compliment of course) and has this sick 37 gallon display along with hundreds of other ricordeas in his prop tank. Either way they're all nice pieces... Link to comment
