Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana)

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.
