My first ricordia...now what is it?

[crash733]

I went to the lfs and got a ricordia. It was on sale and I wanted one. It is bright green in the center(it's mouth). All the rest is a gray blue color. It is about an inch and a half across or for you canadians out there the size of a toonie. He came on a plastic disc and I think he's moving of it cuz he's not centered anymore. Am I imagining this or can they move? Allso from the description can you say what it is?

I am sure its a ric, but is it a florida or a yuma is the real question. If florida, the month will have none of those bumps on it, but if its a yuma those bumps all over its body go all the way up to the middle and onto the mouth.

Reasons a Yuma will move is from too much light. Its not so much of a move as a letting go. If a yuma is not happy it will let go of where it was in hopes to drift to a place it likes better, and that would be a place with less light.

If its a florida and its moving, well, it might be from getting to much flow and is letting go because of that.

Either way, I would move it to either less flow or less light and see how it reacts

I think only the R. florida have the bright green mouths, but I could be wrong.

Some yumas have bright green mouths as well
