Description
Fissidens Nobilis is a true gem among aquarium mosses, known for its unique feather-like appearance and soft, velvety texture. With its deep green color and gently arching fronds, it brings a touch of sophistication to driftwood, rocks, or moss walls. It grows in tidy tufts and spreads slowly, making it an excellent choice for detail-oriented aquascapes or low-tech tanks where precision matters.
Shrimp and fry love it for its fine, protective structure, and aquascapers love it for the natural elegance it brings to any scene.
Care and Planting Directions
Attach to wood, stone, or mesh using thread or aquarium-safe glue. It grows best in clean water with low to moderate light. While not fast-growing, Fissidens rewards patience with beautiful, compact growth. CO₂ is not necessary, though it can enhance density and color. Trim occasionally to keep its shape neat.
