ADA Riccia Fluitans

ADA Riccia Fluitans

The Japanese artist Takashi Amano has inspired many aquarium hobbyists to keep Riccia fluitans submersed by binding it to rocks with the help of a thread. New shoots will always grow towards the water surface and thus need to be trimmed with scissors from time to time. Under water, Riccia fluitans grows best when CO₂ is added. Under good conditions, oxygen bubbles will form on the shoot tips. It is a great protection for fish fry.
