I have a Yuma that disappeared months ago, thought it melted. It has shown back up and growing. My Florida rics have all just split in the last month, I've had some of them for almost a year. I personally like the Florida ones better, but I was unaware there were more colorful yumas out there

This was my experience as well. Good luck if you are bringing some in.

I've managed to keep everything else I've tried without issues. Rics and Yumas are the only things that seem to not do well. I've tried them in the shade out in the open. Just can't seem to keep them for long.

Picked up this guy from a LFS for $20 and he's doubled in size in about 1-2 months. It's developed a second mouth... we'll see what happens. Looks like a Florida type. Never had any issues. Bottom of a 26 gal bow front w/ 250w metal halide, low (not stagnant) flow spot. Started adding AquaVittro Vibrance (Iodide) and it developed the nice purple rim.



Picked up these nice orange ones from Lee9 about a month ago. They're doing well (haven't increased in size/split yet), no issues.

I received few pms in the last 24hrs asking on arrival date if I decide to make the purchase.
To be honest I am not totally convinced yet as I see alot of negative and positive input on these ricordeas...I will keep researching,I know more of you have some type of experience so lets hear more.
