Abt rics

[chuck_D]

how fast can a florida rics grow ? lets say a single mouth ones. how fast will it grow to 2 individuals?

[flying carpet]

Progress of coral growth all depends on your water chemistry. If everything goes well give a month or two and you will see the difference.

[lightningstrike]

dependent on water conditions, esp iodide levels. artificial propagation of rics is the fastest way to go.

artificial propogation? which means to cut it ? afraid if it is not successfull. ermm... ill try to get a few rics and see will it propogate itself. ive seen a few reefers rics in this forum, they grow like hell. really fall in love with rics already. i have a few yumas.. but it didnt seems to grow. already in my tank for abt 2 months. is yuma propogation slower compare to floridas? i mean if both of them is in a good quality of water

Generally, the yumas comes from waters that have a higher level of nutrients... floridas come from the cleaner waters of Florida...

If you yumas aint growing well, if could more be a problem of the condition of the water... u may wanna do all the neccesary tests to ascertain the condition of your tank's water 1st...

My ric had finally split after around 4 months

er, can I ask what is iodide? is it iodine?

I think most reefers meant fast as in a few months.

[chuck_D]

in a few months.. ehhe.. thats fast? haha.. cannot wait for it to propogate itself.. haha... alright... ill try my best to get one ric and try. really love them

[chuck_D]

anyway.... wanna ask another thing.

whats the different between one mouth and 2 mouth rics?

why 2 mouth more expensive?

issit because its dividing itself into 2?

[ozy]

it might split, might not, sort of like in between splitting. But i have seen rics with 5-7 mouth before.

Agreed, might split, might not... sometimes I find LFS that sell rics by the number of mouths quite unfair... Coz I dun tink they pay double when it comes from Florida...
