Pisces Tissue Culture Plant Riccia

Pisces Tissue Culture Riccia is a bright green, low-growing aquarium plant that's perfect for creative aquascaping. It's tissue cultured, so it arrives pest-free (no snails, algae or hitchhikers) and ready to thrive in your freshwater aquarium.

Riccia matures at 1–5cm tall, forming a lush, dense mat that provides shelter and breeding areas for small fish and shrimp.

Three ways to grow Riccia

1. Tied to driftwood or stones: secure it with fishing line to create a bright green lawn or carpet effect.
2. Floating: let it float freely as a dense mat on the surface, ideal for fry tanks and betta setups.
3. In aquascapes: use it to soften hardscape and add fresh, vibrant colour.

New shoots naturally grow upwards and towards the surface, so occasional trimming keeps it neat.

Why tissue culture plants?

Tissue culture plants are grown in a sterile lab environment. That means:

• No pests, snails or algae
• No pesticides
• Healthy plants that adapt quickly to your tank
