What do Rics need as far as supplements and flow/lighting?

 

[HanoverFist]

Florida's like low flow and lighting. Yuma's tend to prefer a little more of both. Neither likes high light so bottom of tank usually. Can spot feed them baby brine shrimp, etc. But for the most part they don't need anything but light and flow.

IMO most rics can be acclimated to high lights, but should have low flow.

Mine are positioned at the bottom of the tank where I have the least flow and lighting. They grow and reproduce pretty good in that environment.

bottom of the tank with low flow IMO

Thank you all for the help. I'll move them and see what I get.
