I purchased this as a Ricordia Yuma about 2 months ago (Left side of the picture ). I recently purchased another about 2 weeks ago and they look completely different right now ( New Yuma at the top ). The person I purchased it from say it IS a Ricordia Yuma. Since I put the first one in the tank it has crawled to the underside of the rock and has left 3 baby's that are now growing quickly. Is this a Yuma or something else? Should I leave it ( and its babies or remove them )

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thank You

If you like the look of it you should leave them. I think they look pretty groovy.

Id leave it. seems like you got a good thing going as rics dont usually reproduce that quickly.

if you're unsure as to whether or not they are yumas, well rest assured, they are. the characteristic to make this ID is all on the mouth. yuma mouths are bumpy (easily seen in the second pic), florida mouths are smooth.
