Are Ricca Suspose To Sink?

Hello everyone. For some odd reason my riccia are sinking instead of floating.

Riccia is suppose to float, but if you got it from someone who planted it with a hairnet, the plant may have lost it's bouyancy. Do you want it to float though? Because most people prefer to have in planted with a hairnet.

I already have a lot of riccia tied down and now I need some floation riccia for my fry tank.

If you can, just leave it in the tank as it is. Maybe it will regain its bouyancy?

its a naturally floating plant and will float if left alone to grow IMHO just leave it in the tank, or give it a boost by fixing it to something near the surface to speed up the growth btw is it still green ? my riccia tied to hairdnet still floats when i remove it

You sure it's riccia - I've never heard of it sinking. It sounds as if you may have something more like pellia which is similar to riccia, but much larger and it sinks.

Its not that green. Its kinda light green.
