Java Moss – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is Java Moss?
Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) is a hardy, low-maintenance aquatic plant popular in freshwater aquariums. It is ideal for aquascaping, breeding tanks, and shrimp habitats due to its ability to provide shelter and improve water quality.
2. How do I attach Java Moss to surfaces?
Java Moss can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or mesh using fishing line, thread, or aquarium-safe glue. Over time, it will naturally anchor itself as it grows.
3. Does Java Moss require special lighting?
No, Java Moss thrives in a variety of lighting conditions, from low to high light. However, brighter lighting will encourage faster and denser growth.
4. How often should I trim Java Moss?
Trimming depends on your desired look. If it becomes too dense or overgrown, trim it with scissors to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
5. Does Java Moss need CO₂ or fertilizers?
Java Moss can grow without CO₂ supplementation or fertilizers, but adding them can encourage faster and lusher growth.
6. Is Java Moss good for shrimp and fish tanks?
Yes! Java Moss provides hiding spots for shrimp and fry, making it a great addition to breeding tanks. It also helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients.
7. Can Java Moss grow floating?
Yes, Java Moss can grow floating freely in the water column, but it tends to look better when attached to a surface.
8. How do I clean Java Moss?
To remove debris, gently swish Java Moss in a container of aquarium water. Avoid excessive handling, as it can be delicate.
9. What water parameters are best for Java Moss?
Java Moss is very adaptable but thrives in:
- Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C)
- pH: 6.0–8.0
- Hardness: Soft to hard water conditions
10. Will Java Moss cause algae growth?
Java Moss itself does not cause algae, but if excess nutrients and strong lighting are present, algae may grow on it. Regular water changes and proper tank maintenance can help prevent algae buildup.

"What You See is What You Get" collection?
With our "What You See is What You Get" collection, you can view the exact fish you'll be receiving. Each fish is photographed individually, so you know exactly what you're purchasing before it arrives at your door.
Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 100% live arrival guarantee. Our fish are shipped directly from our collections with care, and we stand behind their quality. If your fish arrive in poor condition, please contact us within 24 hours with a photo, and we’ll provide a replacement or refund, as per our terms and conditions.
What is the Direct from Farm collection?
The Direct from Farm collection is our preorder system where you can select fish directly from our farm in Thailand. Because we carefully source each fish, this process takes a little longer—approximately 2 weeks for the fish to arrive from Thailand and another week for quarantine before being shipped to you. This ensures that your fish are healthy and acclimated before they reach your aquarium.
How do I care for my new fish once they arrive?
When your fish arrive, it’s important to acclimate them gradually to your tank’s water temperature. Ensure your aquarium is fully cycled and that water parameters (temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels) are stable.
