Taxiphyllum alternans 'Taiwan' moss

Product description

About the species

Growth of Mini Taiwan moss is horizontal and overhanging, like a mini version of "Weeping moss". Attaching to branched wood or vertical rock will present it at its best and is also very useful for a moss wall or for hiding installations in the aquarium.

It is a simple and decorative moss with fairly low requirements, but good light and a little added CO2 promote growth and branching. The full identity of this beautiful moss has not yet been established and studies may likely place it as a species of the Isopterygium family.

Taiwan moss is perfect vegetation for shrimp in your aquarium and also good as a hiding place for small shrimp
