    Remove all of the melters as they can affect healthy yumas. They may bother your other Ricordea also. Sorry to hear. I have not had any luck with recovery when they start melting.

    A sudden change in parameters I believe. It could be temperature, nitrate, phosphate, calcium, alkalinity your name it, even lighting.
