Java Moss - Taxiphyllum barbieri

Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, is a very popular species of aquarium moss that belongs to the family Hypnaceae. Java moss is commonly used as a carpet, in aquatherapy, and as a supplementary food source for herbivores and omnivores. Micro-predators also utilize the microbial colonies that form in its leaves. This plant tolerates changing water conditions very well. You don't have to worry about it if your water parameters are temporarily out of the norm. It can also handle tank cycling, so it can be one of the first plants you add to the tank. The plant serves as a hiding place and a food source for shrimp, crabs, and snails. In particular, apple snails and cherry shrimp enjoy feeding on this moss. This moss is a safe place in the aquarium where fish lay their eggs - against the backdrop of this dark green plant, small white eggs are easily visible.

When larvae lose their yolk sac, they immediately need something to eat. Most fish larvae feed on microscopic food, which this plant is full of.
