Aquatic mosses

Rootless plants that attach to rocks and wood. Easy to grow, decorative and perfect shelter for fry and shrimp.

Detailed explanation

Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) is the most common. Christmas Moss has a more regular growth. Flame Moss grows upwards like flames.

Mosses are the perfect shelter for fry and shrimp. They attach with fishing line or super glue gel.

Regular pruning keeps the pad dense. Mosses propagate by fragmentation: any piece grows back.
