i've read that the darker colored ricordias, like blues and greens, only do well under floros, metal halides can cause these to shrink, rather than expand, and wither away.
ricordia yuma is from the pacific, ricordia floridia is from the atlantic.

ok, that's what I thought. So Yuma are from the caribbean, and the "regular" stuff is from the atlantic.
Do the regular ricordias do well on 50/50? I have 24w on my 12g nano and was wondering if I could keep ricordia and have it do ok? I figured I couldn't do yuma, but that some of the lower light ricordia (if there is such a thing?) might be ok in my tank? Thanks for the replies.

no, the ricordia yuma is from the pacific ocean. the ricordia floridia is from the atlantic ocean.
btw, the caribbean sea is part of the atlantic ocean and gulf of mexico.
