Fissidens nobilis auf Lava 4x5 cm

Fissidens nobilis on lava is an undemanding aquarium plant that grows on porous lava stone. This moss species, originating from East and Southeast Asia, features fern-like, dark green shoots, providing a structured and bushy appearance. Mounting on lava stone allows for easy placement in the aquarium while the moss anchors itself. Under stable conditions, it can form a dense, cushion-like mat that contributes to creating a natural underwater landscape. Fissidens nobilis requires low to moderate light conditions and exhibits optimal performance within a temperature range of 18-26°C. A neutral to slightly acidic pH level and soft to moderately hard water are ideal. Occasional trimming helps maintain a compact form and prevents overgrowth. This moss species is frequently used in Japanese-style aquascapes and is distinguished from other Fissidens species by its larger leaf structure.
