Java Moss Cup
Java Moss is a true classic in the aquarium world, prized for its versatility, lush appearance, and beginner-friendly care. With its fine, thread-like fronds and vibrant green color, it easily clings to driftwood, rocks, and mesh to create natural-looking carpets, trees, or cascading walls. It’s especially loved by shrimp and baby fish for the shelter it provides, and it doubles as a natural filter, absorbing excess nutrients and improving water quality. Whether you're just starting out or crafting a complex aquascape, Java Moss fits right in—and keeps on growing. Care and Planting Directions Attach Java Moss to hardscape using thread, mesh, or aquarium-safe glue. It doesn’t need substrate and can grow submerged or even partially emersed. Trim regularly to maintain a tidy look or let it grow wild for a jungle feel. It thrives under low to medium light and does just fine without CO₂.
