Taxiphyllum barbieri – Java Moss

Taxiphyllum Barbieri from South-East Asia is a hardy plant that 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 dcor. If its growth becomes too luxuriant, it can be pruned with scissors. In breeding aquariums, Taxiphyllum Barbieri is a wonderful hiding place for young fish.
