Its delicate, branching thallus forms dense, cushion-like mats of vivid emerald green that sparkle with oxygen bubbles under good lighting — one of the most visually rewarding sights in a planted aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(225, 9, 9);\"\u003e*Prohibited plant in Western Australia.

Use fishing line or cotton thread to secure it to hardscape, or allow it to float freely on the surface as a natural refuge for fry and shrimp. It grows quickly and will need regular trimming to prevent the lower layers from dying off. CO₂ and high lighting will produce spectacular pearling and lush, compact growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AquaPlant Culture","offers":[{"title":"TC Riccia fluitans*","offer_id":44063477661761,"sku":"TC128","price":7.37,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/5957\/2545\/files\/Riccia.jpg?v=1782466669","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaplantculture.com.au\/products\/tissue-culture-riccia-fluitans","provider":"AquaPlant Culture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
