Descripción
Java moss is the most versatile plant in the freshwater aquarium and the most used in shrimp tanks, where the biofilm accumulating among its filaments is the main food source for the young. It grows attached to any surface with minimal light and no CO2, and tolerates an enormous temperature range. It is often confused with Vesicularia dubyana, but they are different species.
