I added flame moss to my 10-gallon tank last month. It’s been growing steadily and now covers the back of the driftwood. My shrimp love the shade and the tank looks much more natural. It’s a simple plant that makes a big visual difference.

The moss arrived fresh and looks exactly as described. It’s not fast-growing, but after six weeks it’s already covering a good portion of the rocks. I’m happy with the aesthetic and functional benefits it brings to my aquarium.
