I need ideas for some Riccia, I’ve glued some to a rock & tied some round a couple of small pebbles but got a ton of it left over just floating in the betta tank at the moment

Flat stones, bit of netting and use it to carpet the tank not a lot you can do with it other than wood/rock or leave it floating.

I got a couple of plastic mesh sheets and some fishing line off eBay and tied mine to it and then tied the mesh to some wood in my tank. I've also seen people create walls of it in this way on the back of the tank.
I wouldn't necessarily go for this one (Link) but there are a few pictures in it to show what I mean.

Actually, the more I look at that link, the more the idea of putting the moss behind a mesh sheet on the back wall of your aquarium sounds an interesting idea.

If you were really clever you could create some moss sculptures with that stuff

Thank you all, I’ve seen the mesh sheet Videos they do look good but not sure it would work in the betta tank & as far as sculptures go, tying moss or gluing plants is as clever as I get
