Java Moss

Java Moss, like other aquarium plants, will help convert an aquarium into an ecosystem. Java moss will help reduce ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites but its main benefit is in baby shrimp survival rates. Java moss provides great refuge for young shrimp and also increases the surface area in which shrimp can graze. It is reported that java moss is a great breeding ground for microorganisms which are essential to baby shrimp survival. On top of the many benefits, java moss is extremely easy to keep and propagate. Although it grows slowly, once established it is hard to kill. So if someone lacks a green thumb, java moss is a great place to start.

When asked, “What's the most essential part of a successful shrimp tank?” we will always respond with three key factors: leaf matter, java moss, and a piece of driftwood. Of the three key factors, Java Moss is our number one. Java moss provides many benefits to an aquarium and even more benefits when keeping shrimp.

Just Gorgeous

After a break of a few years, I've restarted my shrimp tanks. I now have tanks with moss from several sources. The ones with moss from Flip Aquatics are the only ones that are bright green, beautiful, and have doubled their size in the two months since ordering them. Going forward, the only moss I want in my tanks is this moss.
