Java moss is the most popular aquarium moss used by aquarists because it is very undemanding regarding water parameters and lighting. It looks best under strong light and a good nutrient supply and is a relative fast-growing plent that attaches quickly to all surfaces. Therefor it is ideal for accentuating the hardscape or for hiding technical equipment in the tank.
