"Wow. Couldn’t be happier with my Christmas moss. The shipping was fast, and it was packed with extra care. My 5th grader lost her beloved beta fish this morning, so the joy she got from her “pink buddies” was very much needed. Thank you so very much! We will be back for sure!" -Lauren L. Via Etsy Just plop in your tank, and you'll have a mess of quick-growing moss in no time! Also perfect for the aquascapers that may wish to try a loose portion on some driftwood, stone, decorations etc. Try your hand at a Bonsai driftwood centerpiece. Christmas moss(Vesicularia montagnei) grows denser and generally more lush than Java moss, and is somewhat less fast-growing. Those are about the only differences between the two. These are drifting, low light, and easy care plants. I love them in mine as they are great at sheltering fry and baby shrimplets, plus they do some serious heavy-lifting at biological filtration! This order is for one clump of Christmas Moss, roughly as much as I can cram (gently) into a 2oz deli cup. It's roughly a golf ball or so. Measured in volume, not weight! Christmas moss is a super duper plant all around. It requires very little in the way of light, temperature, or ferts. As usual, you will notice faster, denser growth in a higher- maintenance aquarium, of course, but it isn't necessary. This is an excellent starter plant for freshwater aquariums. Try your hand at aquascaping with this loose moss! Perfect for driftwood, volcanic rock, Cholla pieces or even an advanced moss backdrop! I've got a handy how-to right here. As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers! Mine love community tanks, with minimal fertilizer and average light/ room temperatures. I do have snails in my tanks, so If you'd absolutely rather not have snail hitchhikers, definitely look up how to do a bleach dip. Thank you for looking, aqua friends!
