my new ricordeas

[kimba]

I have been wanting rics for a while now. I wanted either blue or orange. My LFS had some in, but not great color, mostly brownish. One of them had a hint of orange maybe, but I liked them so I got 3. Got them home, aclimated them, glued them to a tonga branch and put them in with my lights out. When I turned my lights on, they were bright orange!!

I love it when they look better in my tank than at LFS!! Not a great pic, and of course crabs and snails have to check them out

That is usually how it happens, I was so surprised to see the color, they are opening up more and look so nice!
