Description

Looking for details for your planted tank? Java moss is a popular aquarium plant option among hobbyists and is loved for its deep green color and ease of maintenance.

Java moss has roots in Asia, where it can be found dispersed throughout Malaysia, Java, and India. Now used by hobbyists, java moss in fish tanks has become the common option because it’s versatile, beautiful, high quality and efficient for fish and shrimp to thrive.

The versatility of aquarium java moss makes it simple to mix things up in your personal hobbyist tank - attach it to hardscape, driftwood, or cholla wood, or let the java moss aquarium plant float freely for a lovely aquatic aesthetic that also serves as spots for coverage and breeding.

Beyond its ability to protect shrimplets and fish fry, java moss can also help maintain high water quality.

Java moss is easy to care for; its hardiness allows it to thrive in most water conditions and grow freely throughout the tank. Keep an eye on dirt buildup, excess algae growth, overgrowth and leaves that turn brown.

To propagate java moss, use scissors to cut into sections. Keep each section at about two inches in length. Disperse it throughout the aquarium and watch it naturally attach itself throughout the tank.

Our java moss are available in golf ball size and require low light.

I ordered 12 plants from Shrimpy Business . They all arrived alive and beautiful. They are thriving in my 55 gallon tank.

My moss and other plants arrived healthy and packaged nice. Moss is a good size portion for the price. The shrimp love it!

Plants arrived in good condition promptly

Plants arrived in good condition promptly. Thank you. This is a test I have pH of 8 -8.2 and hard water so not the best for plants. The 5 shrimp +2 I ordered are adapted 3 months now, Yea, but no babies, maybe all females but are active and molting. I don’t want to chemically chase water parameters. Hopefully either the Java or Christmas moss will adapt, only crypts growing good so far and lots of algae, in my older well established 2 year aquarium. Might try Jungle Val’s next. Moving slowly! Thank you for any input

A healthy ball of Java moss

Just as described, a golf-ball sized ball of Java moss. It was still wet inside the zip lock baggie, I'm looking forward to seeing it spread along my tank substrate.

I don’t sent sure about it but I just set the balls of moss in the tank. They kind of float around and the shrimp do seem to like hiding in them.

Packaged very well and it was the size described. It came with a lot of brown fronds on it, but will give it some time to see if it’ll perk up.

Large portion of clean moss.

Healthy and growing well.

Coulda been closer to a 3D golf ball's size, but let's not get lost in semantics.

I’m setting up a new Red Cherry Shrimp tank in the basement. This was by far the best quality Java Moss I have ever purchased. I have bought from other sources before for different tanks. They have never arrived so green and lively. I ordered more immediately. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
