anyone have luck with Ricordea splitting on its own? Ive only seen 1 split in the last year. Thanks for the comments:snshne:

They will when they're ready. Good light and water should do the trick!

Mine have split many times. The orange which I feed the most often have split about 14 times.

Feed them directly small pieces of shrimp, scallop, squid etc.
By feeding them not only will they split they'll also run larger in size. Also keep in mind this is well over a 2 year period, it took at least 7 to 8 months for it to split the first time so be patient !

Here's me feeding some scallop and you'd be surprised at how wide they can open their mouths.

I had a complete silverside get away from a BTA & an hour later I found it half way down a Ric. I have since fed them but not very often & not complete silversides LOL.

Cyclopeze will also keep them fat and happy in between target feeding.

That's what I have been feeding mine. It's grown quite a bit, but no splits. Only a few months in my tank though. Going to try some scallop tonight! :bouncer:

This whole page is Ricordiculous! Holy you know what. Vanquish, Travis, the whole lot. Amazing. I am now thinking of building a new "Ricordia Only tank!" - :whstlr:

 

[murkywaters]

Now I'm not selfish so each of you only have to send me one ricordia of each type you have. Thank You in advance
