Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri)
Overview:
Originating from Southeast Asia, Java Moss is a low-maintenance, fast-growing moss widely used in freshwater aquariums. It adapts well to various water conditions, making it a perfect choice for beginners. Java moss grows in dense, carpet-like mats and requires proper anchorage, as it needs a flat, textured surface to prevent it from floating. Ideal substrates for anchoring include driftwood, rocks, and stones.
