Mayaca fluviatilis

Mayaca fluviatilis is native to tropical and subtropical waterways of Central and South America and the southeastern United States. Despite its common name of Stream Bogmoss, it is a true flowering plant whose extremely fine, needle-like leaves and dense branching habit create a resemblance to aquatic moss. It is best suited to soft, slightly acidic water and moderate-to-high lighting, where it grows steadily and forms lush, textured background columns. In harder water it tends to deteriorate slowly; regular water changes with RO-blended water help maintain it in less-than-ideal conditions.
