I bought this for my shrimp tank and it has grown well in a few weeks. The moss attaches easily to the driftwood and looks natural. My shrimp are now hiding in it, which is great for their safety.
Adrian Underwood –
The portions are about the right size and easy to work with. I attached them to a rock and they spread nicely. Not too dense, which is good for water flow.
Molly Abraham –
Great product for beginners. The moss is healthy and grows quickly. I used it in a small tank with neon tetras and it looks very natural.

It arrived quickly and the moss was fresh. I floated a few portions and they settled well. A little bit of variation in size, but that’s expected.
