Nolbi-Wan Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 forget the bib..i drooled a lil further down south. haha..j/k..maybe not... anyways i ordered some rics (blues, orange, purples, greens) should be shipped out today. Ill post a pic when i get them acclimated. If my rics come unattached how should i go about attaching em? Glue or just let them attach themselves? Link to comment
nUgZ Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 If they have absolutely no rock attached I would let them attach themselves. You can place them in a small container with rubble under them and put some mesh over the top so they stay there. Link to comment

Nolbi-Wan Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 quick question. best place for rics..sandbed or stacked up on the rockwork? i have a 70W MH on a 12 gallon aquapod if that helps. Link to comment
Phixion Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 quick question. best place for rics..sandbed or stacked up on the rockwork? i have a 70W MH on a 12 gallon aquapod if that helps. Either place is fine, if on the sand I'd definitely mount it on a frag plug though to keep it slightly elevated off the actual sandbed. Some of the rics i have thrived in my tank midway up the rockwork and under the stock 54w PC lighting. Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 lmao my thoughts are all messed up on that subject. I have tried everything, in sand (noticed they dont split as much) and on rock. I started with a few in a 8 gallon ADA they did GREAT and were only under 72 watts of PC. They laid flat on the sand, and rocks, seemed very happy. I upgraded to my current 18 ADA and have about 30-40 now everywhere. Some on sand some on rocks. I have upgraded to a 70w Halide, and now every day for at least a few hours, they bell towards the light, as if its not enough light!?!? I have moved them to overhangs thinking maybe too much light, but they still do it. So I would say to give them lots of light, place them wherever you want and just watch to see what they do. They will show if they are not happy, or if then need something else. Long story short answer lol! Link to comment
CGNano Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ok, I think i'm officially obsessed with Ricordea. Do they do well under PC? Link to comment
Phixion Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Another of my half dozen rics I have. This one seems to have morphed its skirt into an almost violet/purple color from blue... Link to comment

So I've been reading up a lot about them. It seems like most informational/dealer sites I've been to say that they only do well under low light but people who have dealt with rics first hand say that they do great under almost any. I have 130w PC (65 day, 65 actinic) in a 15g tank and I'm really split as to where I should put them. Quick question though. In your experience are rics aggressive at all? Link to comment

FLIPbmw Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I had a rhodactis mushroom get pushed into a corner where my rics like to hang out.. the corner of the rhodactis got melted, due to the rics, so they are aggressive. Link to comment
Phixion Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 yes they can be. I had one just like that (page 3 in this thread in fact) but something ate it and I only had it around for about 2 weeks. My LFS told me it's a more rarer ric color and they haven't had one in that was that color in 3-4 years! Link to comment
flricordia Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Here are a few of mine. Link to comment
flick Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Can i have them in a 46g with about 50w of 50/50 pc lighting? I LOVE THEM!!!! :D And has anyone had their clowns host them? Flick Link to comment

IMO they do best as far as spliting under PC so you are starting right. I have had them under MH 14K and 20K and they look great, but don't split as quickly. Link to comment
Ebn Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Here's a rainbow that I picked up a few days ago. It's morphing right now; can't wait to see what it'll eventually look like. Link to comment
nUgZ Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I can't either Ebn. Nice yuma!! Link to comment
junkitu Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Here's a pic of a green rainbow colony that I found at one of my LFS's. Its mouths are pink. Link to comment
