Riccia fluitans
Riccia fluitans is a versatile aquatic plant from the liverwort family, often used in aquariums for its vibrant green, moss-like appearance. It can float on the water's surface or attach to hardscape, forming lush carpets or mats. Under high light conditions, it produces oxygen bubbles, enhancing water quality. This plant thrives in clean, well-circulated water and is easy to care for, making it suitable for beginners. It can be propagated by cutting or ripping pieces for replanting, and while it doesn't require CO2, it benefits from it. Riccia fluitans is not compatible with duckweeds or hair algae and prefers stable water parameters to prevent melting.
