I've tried yumas a time or two.. They always slowly melt away to nothing in my tanks. Floridas do well for me.

+1
Typically yumas are much harder to keep long term than the Floridas.

I picked up one Yuma (Big Al's) and two Florida (Golds) a month or so, ago. The Yuma is doing very, very well. The Floridas are doing okay. They were very small and not in great shape to begin with. I think they'll make it, though.

Being that I picked them up in person, and I believe they had been at the stores for a long time, shipping stress hasn't factored in with them.

I have a Yuma that disappeared months ago, thought it melted. It has shown back up and growing. My Florida rics have all just split in the last month, I've had some of them for almost a year. I personally like the Florida ones better, but I was unaware there were more colorful yumas out there

out of a batch of rics and yumas i got the yuma grew huge , and split for me.I got a new one recently from red coral its purple yellow and hints of blue , the yuma colors are way better then ricodea florida .

I've managed to keep everything else I've tried without issues. Rics and Yumas are the only things that seem to not do well. I've tried them in the shade out in the open. Just can't seem to keep them for long.

Picked up this guy from a LFS for $20 and he's doubled in size in about 1-2 months. It's developed a second mouth... we'll see what happens. Looks like a Florida type. Never had any issues. Bottom of a 26 gal bow front w/ 250w metal halide, low (not stagnant) flow spot. Started adding AquaVittro Vibrance (Iodide) and it developed the nice purple rim.



Picked up these nice orange ones from Lee9 about a month ago. They're doing well (haven't increased in size/split yet), no issues.

This was my experience as well. Good luck if you are bringing some in.
