I would tie the Riccia to different sized rocks (big and small) and place the smaller ones in front. Surf the net for placement of rocks in zen style and see if you can apply it to your riccia rock placements. Another trick I try to achieve is to place darker leafed plants to the back and the lighter ones to the front. Usually you will find the darker leafed plants have lower light requirements (reds are an exception here). Try it.. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for your great experience, I like it that way, but I want my Blyxa grow higher then only start to shift or trim it. Actually I am not really like Riccia, it because of rootless, even I did tied it on many kinda surfaces before and trim it quite often, end up floating in the water surface......but recently I saw another species of Riccia, it kinda cute, growing with a tiny leaves, straight up 12 o'clock when growing. Anyone know where it from and is it a mutant plant? I like the red plant....still can't see it from the picture attached. I have Proserpinaca palustris in the tank, going to get more red plants soon.
