SO i am looking to build a ricordea Garden, anyone have experiance with steady growth on these shrooms? Flow? Lighting? Direct feeding?
 
For me they have grown very slowly. If you want repid expansion it is best that you cut them in 1/2 with a razor blade.
 
I started a ric rock with 5 head about a year ago and now has 8 or 9 head. Not a fast producer but does grows big on size.

I don't spot feed, I have it high up now and moderate flow. It did well lower in the tanks also.
 
I bought a ric, my first ric, at the fall frag swap in September. It hasn't split yet. I have been debating cutting it in half, but I worry that it will melt if I do cut it in half. So far me so far, they have been a very slow grower.
 
I will also add that I feed it spectrum pellets about once a week. I don't know if it helps at all or if it can even process them, but it does eat them. I also add oyster feast twice a week.
 
Im with KilaGo. I used to have a ric garden in my last tank, and I fed them pellets and they sprouted mouths MUCH faster than before I did. They usually develop many mouths, and then split.
