warhol1 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I wanted to know if it was possible to get a second yuma by simply cutting a piece of the foot off of an existing yuma. Also I wanted to know if by cutting one of the bubbles off of a ricordea or yuma would create a second specimen. Link to comment
Aqua newbie Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I wouldn't cut the bubbles-they're too small and they could easily float away. The foot propagating is the best. Link to comment

plainrt Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I heard that tying fishing line around them will make them split and stay mounted on rock or whatever so dont float off Link to comment
warhol1 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thanks Lalani, I guess I shall try to propogate with the colony of green yumas that I have now. If successful, I will purchase a red yuma and continue to perform the same method. Question: I have a green ricordea that I purchased like 1 week ago and it looks like it spits out 2 babies. I had no clue a Florida Ricordea could do this because I have only witnessed yumas spitting out babies. They are the size of a pen point and have about 3-4 green bubbles on them. Should any special care be conducted for these small rics? Link to comment
Lalani Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah, mushrooms split in several different ways, just make sure the babies don't detach and float away. Link to comment
cbort Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I just fragged a purple/teal/pink/green yuma a week ago. Pulled it out of the tank, let it retract a bit to where i could see the foot (1 1/2") and cut about a 1/4" on each side. Now the main foot has fully separated and the others have actually grown mouths and I now have 3. Link to comment
Kimberly63 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've accidentally ripped off a piece of the foot of a yuma and it grew into another. Link to comment
