READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Fissidens Fontanus is one of our favorite aquarium mosses! This delicate gem features rich green hues and soft, feathery fronds. It is a very delicate live moss that may look matted when balled up, but once it attaches to aquarium driftwood or stones—it really shines, offering a unique texture that sets it apart from other aquatic mosses.

Fissidens moss is easy to care for and doesn't demand much in exchange for fluffy growth. Like all plants, its form and growth speed is noticeably different with CO2 injection and moderate lighting. However, it won't fuss if kept in low light or low-tech planted tanks. When established, it forms fuzzy, cushioned patches that offer excellent hiding spots for tiny freshwater livestock like shrimplets and fry. So, if you're looking for a low-maintenance aquarium plant for your aquascape that doesn't skimp on texture and, try Fissidens! You'll soon see for yourself why its a moss every aquascaper loves.
