Your biggest yuma

[Grandreef 2]

I dont have a pic but there is one at our pet store that is at least 16" big

Now I'm curious.... would you be able to take a picture?

I have never heard of one even remotely near 16 inches in size and would be very surprised if its a yuma.

I would have to see a pic to believe it....More then likely it is an elephant mushroom.

All mushrooms look the same to me but I will have to see if they will let me take a pic. It says its some form of a mushroom maybe a hairy mushroom.

You need to leave the ruler out of that pic with the tang.........

looks like a ten incher without it




Ive got some 4-5"ers, but as somebody else said already, mine also seem to pretty much stop growing at that point

mine seem to stop growing around 4-5" too, but i never target feed.

Whoah. Thanks for this thread. I used to find them extremely pretty, but now I will refrain from getting one.

Partly because if I introduced something this size to my nano, I could take everything else out.

Plus - I am a snail fan, and very fond of my Stomatellas.

Great pictures, though!

Do all ricordea eat snails? or just the yuma? Also, is it only stomatellas they eat? or ALL snails?

Thanks!

Realise its a crappy photo... It was taken about an hour after lights on. Still expanding when taken, but later in the day it will consistently measure 20cm across.

I'm pretty sure this isn't unique, but am very curious about the maximum sizes yumas can reach. In this case, I got it when it was about 9cm and started feeding regularly. Its only grown about 2cm in the past 6 months or so, since I stopped feeding. I'm thinking of starting feeding again to see if it can grow a bit bigger.

holy crapp is this in inch's or centimeters... its :eek2: freeakking huge!!

 

[silentscream]

i would imagine cm's since the OP is in australia and mentioned growth in terms of cm's.

That's amazing 5h3......

TBH I don't think any of mine eat snails. But some are definitely greedier & quicker feeders than others.

Different yumas also seem to have diferent feeding preferences, at least IME. The one in my photo that expands to 8" during the day, prefers raw scallop & salmon.

HTH
