Java Moss - Taxiphyllum barbieri

Java Moss - a popular fast-growing plant which has very few demands. Great for attaching to bogwood or rocks with fishing line, or for carpeting a wall. If it grows out of control, simply prune down to size. Can be a very attractive plant and a good hiding place for your fish/shrimp. A good beginner plant or low tech plant. Dark green to brownish in colour - when moss has brown threads, it is not dead, 

The plant is unique in its design in the fact that it does not root. Rather, Java Moss attaches itself to things, much like ivy. But, you don’t have to worry about planting it and it won’t root into your gravel. Java Moss tends to anchor itself in one spot and then float there peacefully.


Java Moss is great for breeders because it is extremely friendly to babies and shrimp. Small babies will find safety and comfort living in the soft moss, while shrimp will appreciate having a place to nest as well.
