About This Collection

Moss

Aquarium mosses are some of the best live plants for shrimp tanks, fry cover, and natural aquascaping. They attach well to wood, rock, mesh, and mats, creating dense grazing areas and hiding places for small livestock. Mosses are popular in low-tech freshwater aquariums because many varieties tolerate a wide range of conditions. They grow best with stable water, gentle flow, and regular trimming to keep the mat or clump healthy. Live mosses are covered by our Live Plant Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any issue in the original packaging on the day of delivery, before trimming or attaching.
