Riccia for sale (UK only) - 03-30-2007, 06:16 PM

ebay listing

Selling to the UK only for obvious reasons. When this ebay listing expires Ill update it.

I have loads of the stuff now, and its growing like a weed. Its good quality, and thoroughly picked over to get rid of any bits of other plants in it. Supplied in a 4oz polystyrene cup.

More Riccia for sale - 04-13-2007, 06:46 PM

eBay.co.uk: Riccia fluitans - A FULL 4oz cup. Excellent quality (item 270109038596 end time 21-Apr-07 13:12:28 BST)

got quite alot of this again now.. its growing like crazy.

Anyone from UKAPS that wants any, let me know prior to buying it on ebay and Ill ship out 2 lots for the price of 1 lot (which will about break even for me). Ill do this for as long as I can, but its not likely to last long as it flew away last time.

Any tips on maintaining Riccia? I bought some several times and have never had luck keeping it attached to anything. I've tried fishing line on drift wood, I've tried to tie it to chicken wire under the substrate. All methods = Riccia floating to the top piece by piece...

Thanks.

OK, I have to bite.

Along with the riccia on Ebay were offered three bras ranging in size from 38 DD and 38 E to 34 DD. Did someone lose a lot of weight, or, maybe gain some?

Also, why would someone with a 38 E need an "underwire, uplift padded quality" bra? A picture might help to explain that.

There is so much that I don't know.

riccia wont ever form its own root systems as it just doesnt have any. Therefore, if you want to keep it covering a stone for instance, you need to use fruit netting to hold it down, itll grow through it very fast, so dont worry if you can only find orange stuff.

other than that, it needs very good light, EI and good co2. it should be pearling after about 3 hours, if theres no sign of pearling, it might not have enough light (assuming full EI and CO2).

I used green cotton and made a sort of net by wrapping it around a stone. Im not so sure it will stay put when I get fish though

netting is definatly what you want the time the fruit comes in. You need some proper netting with fish like barbs as they like to pull at it.

ps. i think you need to turn on your IMG code options at the bottom of your page.
