What to do with Riccia

[gid]

Hey bros,

How do I get Riccia to carpet, and to from those nice round bushes?

And how does Riccia do in a shrimp tank? I'd appreciate any comments.

(i had a small 1 cm wild piece of riccia stuck to my java moss when i bought it 3 months ago. I stuck it into my dw, and now its has become a 8 cm blob floating near the surface!)

I think riccia only grows upward, doesnt crawl sideways

I am looking for riccia sp dwarf to tie on flat slates as carpet .. anyone has it?

Tie your riccia on stainless steel mesh or flat slate. That is how you carpet riccia, they have no root so wont stick to anything. You need to trim regularly otherwise the bottom part will rot due to lack of light.

I did see some dwarf Riccia in sea view, but they are already tied to stones and woods
