Java Moss is great for breeders because it is extremely friendly to babies and shrimp. In most stores, a portion of Java Moss is about $5 and most pet stores will always have it.

Java Moss tends to anchor itself in one spot and then float there peacefully its green wisp’s just resting above the gravel. But, you don’t have to worry about planting it and it won’t root into your gravel. Rather, Java Moss attaches itself to things, much like ivy.

The plant is unique in its design in the fact that it does not root. A light green color on the ends of the moss indicates new growth and due to its sturdiness, Java Moss is great for beginners. The moss can grow with absolutely no light and it is rare that someone would be unable to keep Java Moss alive. There are instances where a plant has been forgotten in a bucket for up to two months and when it was found it was still alive and growing. You would have to work harder to kill this moss than you do to keep it alive! You can be sure it will add a flash of green to your tank. This moss is hardy, versatile, and beautiful. If you don’t have a green thumb and are looking for a nearly indestructible plant, the Java Moss is for you! Java Moss is one of the easiest plants you will ever grow.
