thanks.
 
ok cheers anyone else have any suggestions
 
Looks more like some type of moss to me. Is it possible to get a closer pic of it.
 
Riccia. Look closely at the ends and you can see a forked point slightly angled away from each other.
 
My eyes must be really bad as I am having a hard time seeing that. Does it look like this plant?

Yeah. If you look to the right of the shrimp, you can see the same split ends of the riccia.
Albeit, that riccia does look a big straggly.
 
definatley riccia. here are the 2 types (taken from James' pinned guide on riccia & java moss)

dwarf riccia is on the left, riccia fluitians is on the right

so is it a moss or a floating plat? it was sold to me as a floating plant and yes it does float
 
Ricca is a floating plant, it can also be anchored to rocks and wood but will not attach itself.
 
Bump, here we go for those who were reading my other post, its great for fry
 
aparently its not riccia according to some people? what is it then
