    i dunno if tenellus can hold them down or not... but this is how its usually done (personal experience)

    plant tenellus/glosso first.. once its establised, insert a bunch of riccia between runners.. coz tenellus/glosso r so-called fast growers so they will hold the riccia down.. I have done it for glosso, dunno if tenellus can do the same.. theorically it shld work the same way

    JJ, usually.. using of fast growers will help, HG too slow.. but once they have runners to lodge bunch of riccia, IMO, sure be able to hold

    Sinking riccia can be got from Nature Aquarium. Seen it in my friends tank... after itoutgrw the mesh, he removed them and the riccia just sits on his gravel like a green cotton. He can even gently lift it and put it back.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Did you'll notice whether the sinking riccia bubbles? I was checking the last time I was there and they told me it's harder for the sinking riccia to bubble.
