Yuma?

freddy4130 · 01/04/2009, 10:06 AM

So I have been reading like mad how to tell the difference between a yuma and a florida ricordia. Many say that the yuma has bumps all the way up to the opening of the mouth. Other than that, I have really not seen much info on telling the difference. So here is my ricordea that has bumps all the way to its mouth. What say you?

And here is one that matches the color and bump size of the "alleged" ID of a yuma. What say you? This one was obviously just cut in two at the mouth and is still healing. It is super grayish blue and clear in some parts with bigger bumps/tentacles? than the ones I know to be florida.

the first picture looks like a yuma, but the second one I'm less certain.

Ahhh the benefits of having a well stocked fish store and kids who work there who have no clue. I got that for $15 and there are two shrooms. Woohoo!

Can you get a better pic from the top down of the second one? first looks like a yuma.

First one is R. yuma. Second one is R. florida.

Good score!

I'll have to photo that second one once its mouth heals. It was cut in half and is in the process of healing. It looks much like the other ones other than the color.

This one is splitting right now but the bumps go all the way to the mouth as well. But I have seen this color described as a florida many times.
