Thats normal Riccia. You need to be looking for Riccia fluitans sp 'dwarf'. I have grown Riccia (both normal and dwarf) under low light no C02, but good flow and both times it has done well.

Ok, so what’s the difference, do I have to have dwarf?

 

[ian]

no, not at all. You can have which ever you want. They both do as well as each other. Normal riccia is easier to trim that the dwarf variety.

Great thanks

just be aware that you do have to trim Riccia though...this is me doing my twice weekly trim!
