It would normally go yellow/brown

Normally a lack of nutrients/C02/lighting would cause it to die, just like any other plant

I've managed it... well Blue greed algae did.

It looses its ability to float and turns brown and gets sucked into the filter....

I'm desperatly trying to nurse what i have left, back to health

That sucks dude. I used to have some in my tnak. Got rid of it all a couple of months ago. I'm STILL finding bits of it floating in my tank every now and then!

My color is kinda very light green. I have 20ppm of CO2 and i have 130watts and im only dosing Fe.

The color use to be green but after 2 weeks the color starts to turn yellow.

is it possible to nurse my ricca back to health?

your probably lacking iron and or CO2. dead riccia is grey then turns transparent. it's also worth mentioning that dwarf riccia is a lighter more yellowy green than riccia fluitians. what kind do you have. (if your not sure pics of both are in my pinned thread.)

 

[EliteFishy]

I have both. I think Im lacking CO2. Im already dosing Iron.
