Description
Background

Fissidens Fontanus moss is native to North America, best known for its distinctive feather-like leaf structure. It grows in a more organised and compact pattern. It is perfect for detail work on hardscapes, adding depth and realism to aquascapes.

Ideal for Nature and forest style layout. A good choice for shrimp tanks too.

Directions

Attach it to hardscape with cotton threads or superglue. It doesn't mind being shaded slightly shaded. Gentle water flow will help keep the fronds clean. Trimming will keep it compact and prevent self shading.

It can be easily propagated by dividing and reattaching it.
