i just got a beautifull pink and blue yuma ric and want to split it and wondering if anyone knows some safer methods besides pie cut method or splitting in half down middle?  I have some cheaper rics that i want to experiment on before i try the new one it is to expensive to cut and kill

well if you don't want to cut it down the middle you could pull it off the rock its on and hope some of the flesh gets left behind...and the flesh should turn into baby yumas =)

you could also cut the rock to where you didn't have to cut the yuma strait down the middle and it still should grow another mouth

From my experience with pink yumas, they are very stingy with babies. I had mine for over 2 years and only got 2. I would wait awhile before trying to cut on it.  They are pretty fragile also.  That's why they are expensive.

I'd let it grow for a while before trying to frag it. Then I would just cut a wedge out of it and see how it responds. I cut my pink and blue ric right down the middle but left it attached to the rock. It has grown considerably since doing that and I think another mouth is forming now. If this proves to be true I may do the same to both halves and when I have 4 mouths start pulling them from the rock.
