Description
Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana)
Vesicularia Dubyana, commonly known as Java Moss, originates from India. It is an adaptable and versatile plant that can be used in various ways in your aquarium. For example, Java Moss can be used as a foreground plant placed among the bases of large stem plants attached to rocks, wood or just left on its own. The plant will attach to any surface and will spread in all directions. Java Moss uses rhizoids to attach itself to surfaces l. ike rocks or driftwood. Since it has no roots that burrow themselves in gravel or substrate, Java Moss absorbs excess nutrients from the water column, contributing to a healthier environment for your tank inhabitants. It is a hardy plant and regular fertilization will increase its rate of growth. Java Moss is ideal in aquariums housing breeding or small fish or fry.
Care Guide for Java Moss
Java Moss is one of the least demanding aquatic plants in the hobby. It does not have any special water quality requirements, will grow in low light conditions, and does not require fertilization. However, if provided with more intense light and some fertilization, Java Moss will grow faster. Java Moss can be used in cold water tanks.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Low
- Temperature Range: 59-86° F
- Tank Placement: Foreground, Specimen
You can let your moss grow over the bottom of the tank, or you can tie it to wood or rocks using scaper's glue or cotton thread. Java Moss looks particularly attractive when tied to branches or rocks, giving the aquarium a natural look.

Posted by Unknown on 1 Apr 2021The cup of moss I received was dried out and a lot of it was brown. But after adding it to my aquarium it seems to be coming back to life and turning green pretty quickly.

Posted by Leslie on 2 Mar 2021This is a very nice little bunch of moss, however trying to "tie" it on a log did not work out well. It has scattered around my tank and landed at the bottom of other plants as well as under some wood so hopefully it will take hold and spread!

Java moss
Posted by Jessica on 10 Dec 2020Looks nice. Was hoping to attach to the driftwood I ordered but the post office has decided not to deliver my driftwood for whatever reason. It is healthy looking, some brown pieces but not anything major.
