Taxiphyllum barbieri is a species of moss that is very easy to keep in the aquarium. The moss comes from Asia and is therefore often referred to as Java moss. It grows up to 10cm thick and attaches to a variety of surfaces. Ideal for covering stones, back walls or driftwood.
Taxiphyllum 'Flame' is a moss species that owes its name to its special growth habit. The moss develops dense, wavy, vertically growing strands reminiscent of a campfire. The height is about 5 to 15 cm.
Taxiphyllum alternans 'Taiwan' grows horizontally and overhanging, somewhat similar to Weeping Moss. It is excellent to use to adhere to surfaces and then hide technology in the aquarium.
Taxiphyllum 'Spiky' is a more robust moss species and forms thicker shoots. These are strongly branched with many 'leaves' and have a deep green color. A bit like the big brother of 'Christmas moss'.
