so, about a year ago I moved a couple of rubble rocks the size of my fist into my sump... there are many yumas in this rubble but I just put it in there anyways because my display was getting crowded...

I took some rocks out of the sump to put in my nano and what do I see??? some yumas still on the rocks!!!!! they're bleached, but I can see a little colors left... my sump has no lights whatever, I'm surprised it survived in there for a year!!!

Here is a shot of them in my tank (they are green, disregard the orange rics in the middle). I originally got two, dime sized ones from Puff, and they grew and split like crazy:
