Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri)
Java Moss is a hardy, fast-growing moss that attaches to hardscape and spreads into soft, flowing mats. Ideal for aquascaping, shrimp tanks, breeding setups, and even fry protection, it thrives under nearly any lighting and water conditions. Its dense texture makes it a favorite for natural-style aquariums and driftwood accents.
