Java Moss is certainly the most popular aquarium, terrarium, and paludarium moss due to its lovely appearance and ease of care!
Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri/Vesicularia dubyana) is a longtime favorite moss species. This is a great plant to keep in any freshwater aquarium, terrarium, or paludarium due to its low lighting requirements and ease of care. It grows into bushy patches that are always a favorite hiding place for shrimp and fish fry. It also provides cultivation areas for tiny live food sources such as infusoria and biofilm. Once established in the aquarium, it will attach to surfaces and proliferate slowly.
This is a very easy plant to keep without much extra care, but like all plants, it can benefit from CO2 supplementation, although this is not required. Like many mosses, it does not typically respond positively to most chemical plant supplements. Many aquarists report success with this moss purely through keeping a well-maintained aquarium with no supplementation.
