Both were sold to me as ricordea FloridaZ the orange one I am confident In this, the green one however looks different than the orange, but not quite like a Yuma(no bumps on the eye but the pattern is different than on the orange) so I’m not sure on it. But I’m growing concerned bc of the “it depends” comments on whether two types of ricordea can touch. The green one has been thriving but my orange one seems to be suffering. They have been touching or very close for a little over a week so I may consider moving one of them if I need to.

also on an somewhat related note. I just picked up a hairy mushroom from a teacher friend. I know it doesn’t need to touch my ricordea but Can It be on the same rock or should I put it far away from the others?

both are florida ricordeas

and the hairy mushroom can be on the same rock but they spread fast, so may want to put it on a different rock
Perfect! I thought so but the difference in pattern threw me for a loop!

i went ahead and just put the hairy across the tank! I only have a 10 gallon I’d rather it take over the barren side of my tank for now lol
