[Simon]

thank u Alfa

[juggler]

Nice!

How come the Riccia looks "fatter" than normal? Is it something new?

[nizz]

Hi Juggler

There's 3 types of Riccia (dat i know of, at least...[])
Mini riccia (very fine), the normal riccia fluitans & finally the large riccia which u see in the pics abv. If u stay in the east, u can also see it in one of sam yick's tanks at pet safari (simei east point).

The other day someone here mentioned dat Ah Pek has the large riccia for sale....

Well - thinking of making 4 x 55W PL lights for my 4ft tank. But not sure if 55W PL lights and ballasts are easily available. Cheers!

Hi Alfa! Nice lookin' tank you've got there! I've seen this specimen in Taiwan two years ago. It was very expensive then. I understand that some LFS here is also sellin' this specimen. Wanna trade? I may have some plants you could be interested in. SMS me can? 9777 1199.

ya, looks like some kinda 'flower' snail

[kenzo]

dun quite like it too, sorry...

looks too much like a veggie, abit like cabbage in water.

but then again, they look much easier to maintain than normal riccia.

btw, isn't the big riccia the sinking riccia?

[benetay]

see like sponge kekeke...Sinking riccia is not the giant riccia. =)

Hi Alfa. It's ok. Thought you owned the setup. anyway, glad to hear you're keeping ahead of times with those overseas literature. You subscribe to any mags for this hobby?
