Scientific name: Riccia fluitans
Riccia Fluitans, also known as crystalwort, is a popular floating plant in the aquarium hobby. It is a bright green liverwort that grows quickly and can be used to create a lush, carpet-like effect on the surface of the water. Its fronds are thin and delicate, providing shelter and cover for fish and other aquatic animals.
While Riccia Fluitans can be grown attached to rocks or driftwood, it is most commonly used as a floating plant. It is a relatively easy plant to care for, requiring moderate lighting and regular pruning to prevent it from becoming too dense. It is also a popular choice for aquascaping and can add a natural and organic feel to any aquarium.
