Such a cool new experiment!
These floating balls of Java moss will take your fantasy aquascape to the next level.
Java moss(Vesicularia dubyana) is a drifting, low light plant. 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! Learn more about that here.
This order is for one stringed ball of moss, available in either a 2" or 3" size, with a suction cup and invisible fishing line attached.
Ready to be tied to whatever hardscape you wish!

Java moss is a super duper plant all around. It requires very little in the way of light, temperature, or ferts. 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.
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.
