Fissidens fontanus
Origin: North America
A premium portion of Fissidens fontanus — North America's finest aquarium moss — supplied pre-attached to a small natural stone for immediate, hassle-free placement in the aquarium. Fissidens fontanus, known as Phoenix Moss, is beloved in competition aquascaping circles for its extraordinary frond density, structured feather-like leaf arrangement, and jewel-like texture that creates a unique depth and visual complexity unmatched by most other aquatic mosses. Having the moss pre-attached to stone saves the aquarist the time and effort of attachment and ensures the moss begins anchoring immediately. Perfect for moss walls, stone accents, and mid-foreground detail planting.
Place directly in the desired position in the aquarium. Grows under low to medium light; CO2 is beneficial but not essential. Trim periodically with sharp scissors to maintain density and prevent lower growth from dying back. Best below 25°C — sensitive to prolonged high temperatures. Excellent for both unheated and tropical planted aquariums within its temperature tolerance.
