Mini pellia/coral moss-Riccardia chamedryfolia

[Que]

Does anyone grow this plant in the US? Got any pictures of it? How well does it grow?

Q

I haven't heard of mini Pellia, but I do know that quite a few people keep regular Pelia and they grow well in most tanks.

I googled pics after seeing your pellia pics, it looks very cute but tiny.Tropica lists it as R.graeffei. Maybe try a more plant specific site.

Ive grow it with basic ph and little co2, and little light just 4 hours 2 on mornin 2 on night

have you got ahold of any yet?

i stumbled upon some by accident and it seems a very undemanding plant. it grows for me in under 1wpg without co2. not fast, but steady growth. unless you have a whole lot i'd say it's a great plant for a pico tank.

Second picture (with the shrimp) is mini pellia I believe. If you read the entire thread it gets used several times throughout the different re-scapes.

I have it in a couple of tanks. it's really a slow grower and has proven itself to be quite susceptable to algae growth without co2. where it really flourishes is at or above the waterline, where it grows really nicely, a lot like a lichen.

what lighting do you have that under mellow? mine does fine without co2 and is under the water line. i haven't had algae on it... but i have to shade my java moss otherwise it gets covered.
