Yuma Lighting

[Sunshine]

I have a Yuma that don't want to stay put. I put him on a rock, half way up in the tank. Next day, he was further down on a different rock. He stayed there for a long time, now he is on the sand bed. Will he be OK on the sand ? I have another one higher up, he hasn't moved yet. Didn't know if they like a lot of light or not.

It will be fine on the sand bed, they will go where they want to go...

[Sunshine]

Yeah, I'm finding that out with all of them. Seems every time I look at the tank in the morning, they had fun the night before re-aquascaping for me ....

all the yumas i have had like low light. i would leave it be unless it is going to drift away in the flow.

[Sunshine]

OK, where he is now is behind my brain in a little corner. I don't think there is much flow there. Maybe he'll stay put now.

Thanks ..

Are you certain it is a Yuma mushroom? I have not know them to be able to move more then a 1/4" or so in 24 hours. Is it loose and floating around or actually moving itself?

[Sunshine]

Yeah, now the other one has joined it. So both unfooted and took off to be together ...
awwwww romance in my tank .... lol

It could be just me but those look like Ricordea Florida. But I am on my laptop so maybe I am mis-identifying them

I'm going to have to agree with kenv431. Looks like ricordia to me as well.

[Sunshine]

Oh well hell, you know I'm all new to this. lol OK, so why are they leaving the rocks and going to the sand ?
