Tropica 001 Tissue Culture - Riccia fluitans

Tropica 001 Tissue Culture - Riccia fluitans is used as a live aquatic aquarium plant that provides protection for young fish and can be kept submerged or floating in the aquarium.

Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.

Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup. Japanese Takashi Amano has inspired many aquarium owners to keep the 1-5 cm tall cosmopolitic liverwort, Riccia fluitans, submerged. It can be kept down by tying it to a stone with a piece of fishing line, but new shoots always grow towards the surface, so it may be necessary to prune it with scissors. Riccia fluitans thrives best with added CO2 and in good growing conditions small oxygen bubbles form on the leaf tips. As a traditional floating plant it offers good protection for young fish.
