Java Moss

​This classic aquarium moss is a staple for a reason. Java moss is one of the hardiest and most versatile plants in the hobby, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned aquascapers. Its beautiful, deep green fronds form a dense, lush carpet that instantly adds a natural, aged look to any tank.
​Java moss is incredibly easy to grow and can be attached to driftwood or rocks, creating a stunning "tree" or "hill" effect. You can also let it float freely or use it to create a dense, protective mat on the bottom of your tank. Its adaptability means it thrives in a wide range of water conditions and light levels, requiring no CO2 or special fertilizers to flourish.
​Key Features & Benefits
​Perfect for Beginners: Known for its resilience, Java moss is virtually indestructible and can survive a wide range of aquarium parameters.
​A Natural Haven: The dense structure provides excellent cover and a safe breeding ground for shrimp and fish fry. Its surface is also a great foraging area for shrimp, who graze on the microorganisms that collect within the moss.
​A Natural Filter: It helps improve water quality by absorbing nitrates and other waste products, contributing to a healthier, more balanced ecosystem.
​Highly Versatile: Easily attach it to hardscape, let it float, or use it to create a beautiful, living carpet.
​Easy Propagation: Simply trim and replant to grow more! With a little maintenance, it can quickly fill out your aquascape.
​Care Notes
​Lighting: Low to moderate. Too much light can lead to unwanted algae growth.
​Water Parameters: Tolerates a wide range of conditions, but it thrives in a pH of 5.0–8.0 and temperatures between 68–86°F (20–30°C).
​Maintenance: Regularly trim the moss to control its growth and prevent debris from getting trapped inside.
