Iwagumi ideas?

how reasonable is it to create an iwagumi scape using ONLY dwarf riccia?
would it be at all effective?

 

completely reasonable, but IMO it may look a little 2D. extra plant varieties will add layers and also create a sense of depth. for sure amano has created amazing scapes with riccia, but he also uses a couple of other plants to compliment it.

2006 ADA Gallery 03 was meant to be a glosso and riccia iwagumi, but the riccia overpowered the glosso and covered the whole substrate on a 6ft x 2ft tank... looks nice too.

 

thanks
Maybe some hc on the rocks? (sounds like a coctail lol) and p helferie dotted around the rocks also?
im really new to the whole structured scape thing, any ideas will be much apreciated

 

this was mine with the above plants you mentioned.

have a look at this tank: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3899&start=0&hilit=riccia

 

thanks for the link pretty much what i had in mind
your tank is giving me some ideas too saintly
So, my plan stands at P. helferi, dwarf riccia, fissidens moss and hc.
