Insect Direct Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 There was some in the stream down near the golf course in waikanae beach, dunno if its still in there this was atleast 2-3 months back! Maybe too far away from you though, I may be going down that way in the next week or 2 so could possibly check and go for a swim/kayak if i can be bothered!!

TimTam22 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Haha I won that first auction, but I definately wouldn't pay anymore than what i paid for it Funny tho coz I keep chucking clumps out coz i don't want it floating, just waiting for a clump I have got stuck on the bottem to take off :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 that first auction comes with a CO2 thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 no it doesnt, he just uses one on his tank. that is extremely expensive for a handful of riccia im sure someone on here has some spare they could give you, it doesnt take long to get it to grow into a big clump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I just threw out my extra but when i get more you can have it, might be awhile though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 by the way sharn down in the Q&A it does say something about the co2 system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 are you supplying this plant with co2? if so how will it handle having none Yes, I am supplying this plant with CO2. With no CO2 it will still grow but slower perhaps im just reading it wrong but it sounds like hes just got co2 running on his tank and ranson is just asking what type of unit it is? if he does have the jbl unit with that then its worth at least 100 and i should get bidding :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 It only states that CO2 is used with the riccia tank. Not that CO2 will go with the auction. Hi. Yes, I am supplying this plant with CO2. With no CO2 it will still grow but slower. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 You're also missing the very first line of the auction. You are bidding on a handful of Ricca fluitans. No mention of a CO2 system for sale in this auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 The way it's worded may be confusing but it looks like he is saying that he is adding co2 to the tank it is in , NOT sending a co2 unit with the plant .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 amazing, the original clump which Ira gave me which grew out of control which I took bucketloads to club meeting which a certain club member grabbed, grew and then sells to other club members and on trademe for huge profit. I dont think I will ever bring leftover plants or fish to club meetings ever again. Why should I when they will end up profiteering on trademe and not being passed on to others.

TimTam22 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 are you supplying this plant with co2? Yea I was looking at the word supplying and thinking of it in a different way. Why should I when they will end up profiteering on trademe and not being passed on to others. its sad when things like that happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I see it's on a "Special" too. Only $20 a handfull too. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 lorrainel, are you running CO2?? I just spotted a small clump in one of my tanks (forgot i chucked it in there) well anyway its not doing very well in that tank and I was thinking if you have no luck I can send you this small clump to try out. I do stress though its only about old 50cent size and its been sitting behind the filter inlet but may be worth a try for free :roll: duno what postage is worth though??? may not be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 it doesnt need CO2 its rampant given good light conditions and left to float. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnbo Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yes I bought some riccia about a month ago, good lighting seems to be the defining detail whether it does well or not. One aquarium with good lighting now has riccia to be culled...the other aquarium not lit for plants...gouramis (pigs) ate it all in a week! Burp! Have updated the lighting so will see if the pigs can keep up with the riccia :lol: Haven't had a great deal of success with tying it onto things for aquascaping...seems to break up and float up to the top, will have to try a smaller mesh.
