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 and attached ball of moss, 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.
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.
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
