Extremely rare in the wild, it is a primitive plant without true leaves or roots, forming beautiful cushions of dark and translucent green at the bottom of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts special feature? Unlike Riccia, which always tries to float, Pellia is heavier than water. It naturally sinks to rest on the bottom, making it very easy to use in natural fishkeeping.
