OK I ordered some ricordeas in my u build which shows up on Friday (Man am I geeked .... my four year old almost had a heart attack when the fed ex guy pulled up on our street - she thought her clowns where here ... dude was lost) anyhow --- do the ricordea's come on a very small rock or what? also - has anyone else ordered them from here?? How did they arrive - I want some pictures ....
Lastly - am I just way too geeked up .... I have thursday off (wife getting surgery - minor and nothing to worry about) and I took friday off to be home for the fish ... oh and help the wife ... but I am making my mother in law come into town to help out ..... with my wife of course!!
LOL - ok shutting down before the big storms roll in .... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

i just put mine somewhat under a ledge and let them grow into the light as they liked. mine has spread out pretty evenly some seeking more shade and some seeking more direct light. when i initially placed it in direct light though it never fully opened. other ricordea of mine loves direct light though so maybe i just have one weirdo coral. and they will propogate themselves...they grow, add mouths, and split :)

Yes surgery was thursday afternoon - took thursday all day off and took the morning to get the kids out of her hair then took her in for surgery. everything went fine, her leg is going to be imbolized until this afternoon then it is just a few more days of tenderness and she goes in for follow-up treatments once a week
Right now her leg is looking pretty bruised up and she is refusing to get out of bed yet - she has to walk on it and it hurts ....

I bought 3 awhile back...which came to be 3 frags, and about 8-10 ricordias. They have gotten so big, 2 frags are green, the other is brown/gold/orange/green/purple...a cluster $#@% of colors! Well worth the money

Nice looking fish Jerome. Now I have sudden itch to order some recordia. Also if your tank bred percs are anything like mine they will be breeding in no time.

The blueish ricordias are from SWF, they were about an inch when I got them 4 months ago, and they are about 4 inches now.
