Taxiphyllum barbieri ‘Bogor Moss’ (Tropica)
Aquatic Tropica moss in clamshell package.
Taxiphyllum barbieri (commonly known as Java Fern) from South-East Asia is a hardy plant which makes few demands on the water or light. The moss becomes 3-10 cm thick and grows willingly on any surface, so it is ideal for decorating stones and tree roots or concealing installations in the aquarium. Attach the plant with a piece of fishing line or cotton thread until it has gained a hold on the décor. If its growth becomes too luxuriant, it can be pruned with scissors. In breeding aquariums Taxiphyllum barbieri is a wonderful hiding place for the young fish.
1-2-Grow! Tissue-cultured aquatic plants are guaranteed to be pest-free.

The moss arrived quickly and looks healthy. It’s easy to attach to my stone decor and has grown well in a few weeks. My fish now have a nice place to hide.

Grew well in low light. I used fishing line to attach it to a rock and it stayed in place. No pests or issues so far.

It took a bit of time to establish, but after a few weeks it’s spreading nicely. I like how it adds texture without needing much light.
