peanuts Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 thank you very much. :lol: don't forget to advise cost cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbieBoy Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 No probs and don't sweat the cost, I haven't asked anyone else for any $$s (although I was a bit taken aback at the number of requests...). Now that Misnoma is handling the Auckland contingent, it takes a lot of the pressure off. I've gotten a lot of value from this list and its members so just pay it forward when you get the chance...

Faran Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 If anyone in the WGTN area wants some Riccia, I got a good sized pottle from Dubbie and willing to share some. Let me know, as I'm keen to pass it forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steves Killies Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I have a friend in Dunedin at present and was wondering if you still have any Riccia? Would my friend be able to pick some up from you? Thanks Tim and Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbieBoy Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi there dally, No worries dude; PM me your details and I'll get some your way in the next week or so. Hey check this out, my Riccia-Rock! I started with some plastic mesh (an unravelled shower-scrub thingy) with some hat-band elastic woven through the edge, like a hairnet but with a coarser mesh. Stuffed some wonder-weed inside and popped it over the end of a piece of driftwood. Its been going for about 6 weeks now and looks great, particularly when completely covered in O2 bubbles. Riccia - more than just a floater :lol: - Dubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candy Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 wow love the rock thats so cool loocking did it just grow through the mesh ? i think im going to have to contact mis and get some sent to me .u dont mind me stealing your idear? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbieBoy Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks Candy, I certainly wouldn't claim the idea as my own, look here... http://www.aquabotanic.com/ricciaarticle.html or google 'riccia aquascaping'. Yes, it just grows through and out over the mesh until eventually you can't see the mesh anymore. Then you can just keep it trimmed with a scissors. It does look very neat though (needs muchos light!). Give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 If you are still chucking stuff into the bin, then could we please have some too? I am very happy to pay postage, not much in the way of plants to offer apart from the common things like Java Moss etc. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ksarch Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi I am new to this forum. I started my goldfish aquarium since July. I have been looking for useful info from this forum. This forum is very very helpful and now my tank has been cycled. However I am having problem with algae. They appears all over my plants leave. I start to plant heavyly in the tank to suck all the nutriets out but I think the algae have been established before the plant. I am wanting to out complete the algae in a natural way. so i am excited to know that Riccia can do that successfully and beautifully. If you have some left, could you possibly post me some aswell. I am happy to pay for postage. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbieBoy Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi Guys, I think it might be worth pointing out that, although Riccia is not a fussy plant under good conditions, 'good conditions' mean HIGH light levels (and we're not talking about the single, sad flouro tube that came with your tank here...), some degree of CO2 injection (important) and a good fertlilisation regimen. If your conditions don't fit the bill, then there's little point in my mailing it out as it will die (I'd be curious to know who of the folks I've sent some to has actually had success growing it up...?). IF you think your tank can support it (i.e. your other plants are all doing quite well), then I'm only too happy to send some. But if you're struggling to grow the regular stuff, then the Riccia is unlikely to do very well. Having said that, if you cover the postage, I'll gladly send some to try, no worries at all In light of the steady and ongoing demand however, I'm going to have to start accepting folk's offers to pay the postage cost too (and most everone has freely offered I'm very glad to say ) I had hoped I wouldn't have to but... I usually have sent it out in one of those $5 Fastpost prepaid envelopes which holds a good sized pottle so handiest thing is probably just to mail a self-addressed one of those to me and I will try and return it stuffed full of lovely Riccia! - Dubb.

HummingBird Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 The stuff you sent me exploded in my tank that has Co2 and is doing quite well in a 2ft without it (it still has 2 lights though). It's great as a guppy fry refuge thanks again Dubbie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRSkz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well Pene gave me her's that you had sent as she was having problems getting enough light to her other plants. I have it in my 3 foot tank with a sad little one flora light, lights are EXPENSIVE, and I've been chucking it out, putting it on trademe, doing anything I can to keep it to a dull roar. The duck weed that's in there might be encouraging it, not sure. I have both in my 2 footer aswell and if left to there own divices they'd take over the tank. wicked stuff, handel with care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I had the opposite.. CO2 injection and not a huge amount of light, but everything else in the tank was growing insanely. The ricca kinda sat on the top of the water and didn't do anything, so it got given away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
