Riccia Fluitans - Fork Moss
You will receive: 1 cup (80 cc) — freshly delivered from the nursery, ready to plant.
✅ Level: Easy — Riccia Fluitans is a versatile moss that can be used as both a ground cover and a floating plant. Suitable for beginners and advanced aquarists.
Riccia fluitans is one of the most versatile aquarium plants. Naturally, it floats on the water surface in a airy, branched carpet — but tied to a stone or piece of wood, it forms a dense, emerald green moss mat. Shrimp love it as a hiding place and food source.

✂️ Care
Tie with fishing line to a stone or grid for a dense moss mat in the foreground, or let it float on the water surface. Thin out regularly — Riccia grows moderately to fast.
💡 Tip
Tie to a grid for a perfectly flat carpet in the foreground. Shrimp love to graze through the fine branches looking for microorganisms and biofilm.
