Great article Rob,
One thing I learned, the hard way is that Ricordea Florida and Ricordea Yuma do NOT play nicely together (at least in my tank.) Much like Acans, you can have the same species together in droves, but don't intermingle them to a point that they come into contact with each other.
Murphy's law as it applies to marine conflicts says the more expensive, slower growing, rarer species always seems to lose when it comes to conflict - In my case it's virtually always true...
This peach Yuma lost a battle with a tiny Ricordea f. that was hidden behind a rock.![]()
