About the species

An extremely beautiful aquarium plant surrounded by light green and finely branched leaves from Southeast Asia. Under the right growing conditions with added CO2 and a nutrient-rich soil, this plant grows quickly and can be 25-50 cm tall and each stem up to 15 cm wide.

In good light it forms horizontal lateral shoots and becomes attractive and bushy. Most decorative when several stems are planted in a small group. In open aquariums, it sometimes sends shoots above the surface of the water and forms small blue flowers.

FAQ about Limnophila aquatica

How do I attach Limnophila aquatica?

Divide the moss into thin portions and attach it to rock or wood with thread or aquarium-safe glue. Thin layers receive better circulation and usually grow more evenly.

Does Limnophila aquatica need CO₂?

Most aquarium mosses grow without added CO₂, but steady CO₂, balanced nutrition and stable lighting can produce denser growth.

How do I keep Limnophila aquatica looking good?

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.

Is the moss suitable for a shrimp aquarium?

Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
