Anyone have experience with Ricordea mushrooms? I’ve heard anything from “hardy anyone can keep them” to “they melt after two weeks very difficult” this is my first go at them. Here’s my placement. I don’t have a par matter meter but bottom of my tall tank with low flow.

Anyway your LFS will let you use their Par meter.

I should do that!

Will likely be fine. Seemed hardy in my experience but slow growers

Underline the low flow area. Careful cleaning around them too. Mine did well until I changed the flow and/or bumped them while cleaning (I admit to nothing). Now they are sitting in shot glasses until they reattach.

Low flow, bottom of the tank for low light you should be golden. I’ve had 2 of 6 let go of the rock and disappear to never be seen again which is confusing but most are doing very well. I’ve had them for a few months now. The colors are worth it!

Love them! I didn’t know they would do well in substrate.

They are very hardy, can survive with no light for months, they like low-medium flow. I would say they are quite fast growers, you can even cut one from the base and another one can form from the small piece of meat left
