Riccia fluitans is a versatile and attractive aquatic plant that adds a lush, vibrant touch to any aquarium. This moss-like plant is naturally buoyant, forming bright green floating mats that provide excellent shelter for fry and shrimp. With a little creativity, it can also be tied to rocks, driftwood, or mesh to create stunning carpets and foreground accents.
Easy to grow under medium to high light, Riccia thrives in nutrient-rich water and responds well to CO₂ supplementation, rewarding aquarists with fast growth and dense, pearling clusters of greenery. A favourite for aquascaping, it’s both beautiful and functional—enhancing oxygenation while giving your tank a fresh, natural look.
