Java Moss


Native to Southeast Asia, it is commonly used in freshwater aquariums. It attaches to rocks and roots and driftwood.
Java Moss does not require any special attention. It accepts all kind of waters and all kind of light qualities. It grows best at 21 to 24 degrees Celsius, It is a low light plant and makes a great foreground plant. In aquariums you should plant it somewhere where there is good water current because debris gets stuck on it easily and gives it a brown fuzzy appearance. Due to its clinging nature Java Moss can also be made into a moss wall.

It is especially popular among aquarists raising fry (baby fish) and tadpoles, to protect them from cannabalistic adults. Java Moss can also provide food for the newly formed fry, which can be challenging to feed. Some shrimp like to tear the miniature leaves off it to eat.

Java Fern

 


Java Fern an aquatic fern from southeast Asia, is highly variable with several different geographic varieties that vary in leaf size and shape. It is found attached to roots and rocks in nature.

Cultivation in the aquarium is not problematic as long as the rhizome is tied to rock or driftwood and not planted directly into the substrate. It can be easily reproduced from small adventitious plants which are formed on the older leaves. These new plants should be attached to a rock or driftwood with a thin wire, rubber band or fishing line until new anchor roots have been formed. This plant does particularly well with fish that are normally detrimental to plants, on account of its relatively bitter taste.
