lol...one of the nicest one went in one of the holes in the rock and now I can't get it out...hopefully it will evenually crawl itself out...*crossfinger* the only way to get it out is to crack open the rock and I don't want that...It is a 35-40 lb rock...with roughly 50-52 Rics
 
That's pretty wicked! How big is that rock and what are you going to put it in?
 
I bought the rics loose and placed them on the rock...;) let's hope they will naturally sick on their own...I'll probably give it 2 wks and see the progress. Some are on a pebble and some are on a quarter size rock...
 
hand picked them rics! Actually I got them at 1 shot from Scott's in elk river...He had 130+ Rics come in and I got first dibs! w00t! I had other rics in my tank, I just added them to my project ric rock.

The pics I took doesn't do it justice...They are a bit stressed right now...Hopefully sunday they will open up like they did yesturday...Should fill the rock well...
 
That is really awesome. Have you added the rock back into the main tank yet? Pics?
 
That is awesome!!!! Let me know if you are ever interested in selling or trading any rics!

will do ;)

Thanks Zibba, Nope...It will be probably hmmm...about a month, is my guess to properly stick themselves onto the rock...But after a month pass and the ones that doesn't stick...I probably will be glue the small pebble its on, onto the rock...Out of the 50+ rics right now about 3 of them are sticking to the rock...
 
a few of the rics have multiple mouths and a couple has 4 mouths on it...It should fill the rock well when they decide to split later on, I'm not one to cut'em...
 
I've heard that rubber bands work, but might not be an option with how big that rock is. Also fishing line might be a good option.
 
A Ricordea garden. That will be really nice when it fills in. Rics are a favorite of mine. I would even say I like better than most Acans anyday. I'm trying for a simular look, but I'm only going to add slowly. 50-52 Rics, you don't mess around. That's great.:biggthumpup:
