Java Moss

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.
