Taxiphyllum Flame Moss
Asian Flame moss got its name from its form of growth. Tight, vertical and softly undulating shoots give the impression of a deep green campfire, 5-15 cm high. The special shape makes Flame moss very suitable for horizontal surfaces and it only spreads slowly horizontally. Attach the moss to small stones or in small bundles on tree roots to obtain a lovely effect.
Taxiphyllum moss provides a wonderful hiding place for young fish. Moss will float mid-tank, and can be attached to rocks, roots, and driftwood. Moss will thrive in low to medium light.
Our moss is sold as a portion and it’s best to tie them to rock or driftwood if you don’t want the moss to float around your aquarium.

The moss grows well in my tank with medium light. It adds a natural look and gives young fish a safe place to hide. I tied it to rocks and it stays in place without floating.
Christopher Lee –
It looks beautiful and matches the tank’s natural feel. I used it on driftwood and it stayed put. Growth is slow, which is perfect for a stable setup.

Great for beginners. The moss doesn’t spread too fast and maintains a neat appearance. I love how it looks like a green flame in the tank.
