Riccia Fluitans 

Riccia Fluitans is a popular floating aquatic plant admired for its decorative appeal and beneficial properties in aquariums. Inspired by the Japanese master Takashi Amano, Riccia Fluitans grows best when kept at a height of 1-5 cm, making it ideal for small to medium aquariums.

Key Features of Riccia Fluitans

  • Fast and Luxurious Growth: Riccia Fluitans grows rapidly, forming dense green carpets that can be maintained at a low height (1-5 cm) for an even coverage of the aquarium.
  • Easily Cultivable: It can be tied to rocks or other surfaces with fishing line, but its shoots will always grow towards the surface, occasionally needing trimming to maintain the desired height.
  • Flourishes with CO2: Adding CO2 will help the plant thrive better, promoting the formation of small oxygen bubbles on the tips of its leaves as a sign of healthy growth.
  • Benefits for Fish: As a floating plant, it provides excellent protection for young fish, creating natural hiding spots and reducing stress.
  • Ideal for Well-Lit Aquariums: Riccia Fluitans thrives under good light and nutrient conditions and is perfect for aquariums with advanced lighting and CO2 systems.

Care Tips for Riccia Fluitans

  • Tie the plant to rocks or other supports to encourage stable growth.
  • Trim the shoots growing towards the surface to prevent the plant from becoming invasive.
  • Monitor CO2 levels and water quality to maintain an optimal environment for the plant and other aquarium inhabitants.
