Ok here goes I got sent a ricordea yuma by mistake..its a long story..LOL
When I recieved it all spirocysts were "bubbly" color was great but I knew nothing about them. I put it about a foot down from lights (65w CF and 65w actinic) it gets nice light. It turned dark after a few days and shrunk up. I learned that they eat a lot. What does it eat? I've been feeding ground up fish flakes and crushed mysis in a syringe. It got its color back but is very small still, spirocysts are tiny, mouth is open. Help please! I don't want it to die. Is there a better food? Is the lighting right?
