Riccia fluitans (Crystalwort) – ~5g Golf Ball Portion

Bright green floating or carpet plant for shrimp tanks and aquascapes

Quick Facts

  • Type: Floating / carpeting plant
  • Light: Medium to high
  • CO₂: Recommended for carpeting
  • Growth: Fast
  • Difficulty: Easy–Moderate

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You want a bright green, vibrant look
  • You keep shrimp and want extra grazing surface
  • You’re running a planted or aquascape tank
  • You want a floating plant for fry cover

❌ Avoid if:

  • You want a low-maintenance carpet plant
  • You have low lighting
  • You don’t want frequent trimming
  • You expect it to stay anchored without tying

Why this plant?

Riccia fluitans is a bright green liverwort that can be used floating or tied down to create a dense carpet effect.

It grows quickly and provides excellent surface area for shrimp grazing and biofilm development.

Common mistakes

  • Trying to plant it directly into substrate
  • Not tying it down properly for carpeting
  • Expecting it to stay neat without trimming
  • Using it in low-light tanks
  • Letting it block too much surface light when floating

Care made simple

  • Use floating OR tie down with mesh/thread
  • Provide medium to high lighting
  • Trim regularly to maintain shape
  • Use CO₂ for best carpet growth
  • Ensure good water flow to prevent detritus buildup

Pair with

  • Mesh or stainless steel grid (for carpets)
  • CO₂ system
  • Shrimp colonies
  • Low-profile foreground hardscape
NTA Insight:
Riccia looks amazing when done right, but it’s not a “set and forget” plant. Most beginners struggle because they underestimate how fast it grows and how often it needs trimming.

FAQ

Can Riccia be planted in substrate?

No. It must be floated or tied down to hardscape.

Does it need CO₂?

Not required, but strongly recommended for dense carpet growth.

Is it good for shrimp?

Yes. It provides excellent grazing area and cover.

Why is it breaking apart?

This is normal. It grows in loose clumps and needs maintenance.

Can I keep it floating?

Yes, and this is the easiest way to grow it.

Not bad but read my full review if you are experimenting with different brands
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
So I am middle of the road on this product. First, I love the products from this brand and use some of their other products quite regularly. I was on a search for an alternative to the Crew Forming Cream (which I have used for maybe 20 years) and decided to purchase this product by Huron as well as the much cheaper medium hold styling cream by Cremo. All three are great products but you will need to decide for yourself how much hold you need as I have discovered that each are quite different and really shouldn't be compared to one another. I will say that if I had to put them all into two categories then Crew is heavy hold and Huron and Cremo is medium / light hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that the cheaper of the three, Cremo, would win me over but it has. For the record it has a very subtle scent (hardly noticable), just enough hold and does not leave you feeling like you have product in your hair. This is similar to Huron as well (although Huron is a very creamy in texture and you can tell its a higher quality product) but at the end of the day all that matters is great hold from a product that is affordable and does not leave a sticky texture in your hair. Cremo wins hands down. As for Crew, well it was a good ride but too expensive and way too heavy...time to move on.

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Product didn’t leave a greasy feeling to the hands or the hair. Kept hold all day for my hair style but I knew it was light hold going in. It has a great scent

Long-Lasting Stick Deodorant – Fresh Scent, No White Marks, Gentle on Skin
Scent: Original Citrus+Eucalyptus, Size: 3.2 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This stick deodorant works great! It provides all-day odor protection, even during busy and active days. The scent is fresh but not overpowering, which I really like. It glides on smoothly, doesn’t leave white marks on clothes, and feels light on the skin. I also have sensitive skin and had no irritation at all. Overall, a reliable and effective deodorantI will definitely be buying it again!
