ricordea

[nano-newbie]

Can a ricordea be cut in half and both sides live? Or does only the side with the mouth live?

i believe you do these like you would a normal nem, cut them through the mouth then both halves have a part of a mouth and will heal up around it to make 2 rics

The way I understand it is if you leave any little bit of flesh attached to the rock it will grow back into a whole animal but I haven't seen that yet.

I just had a super cool electric green/purple mushroom do the same thing - moved locations. There is still part of the base and I was hoping it would grow a new one!!!

True. I have Ricordea that move around all the time on their rock and leave behind living tissues. Wala! A new, baby Ric. :wink:"]

So that is why I have so many new babies. Thank Nem for making the ric move around :lol:
