Live Aquatic Plant Flame Moss for Freshwater Aquariums, Upright Growth in Cup or Tissue Culture Formats

This live Flame Moss, Taxiphyllum 'Flame,' grows in an upright twisting form that adds vertical green texture to freshwater aquariums. Canton Aquatics offers cup, multipack and tissue-culture formats for attaching to rock, driftwood, mesh or aquarium-safe décor.

The hardy moss grows slowly to moderately under low-to-moderate light, does not require substrate or supplemental CO₂ and provides surface area for shrimp, fry, biofilm and microfauna.

Key Features

• Distinctive upright spiral growth differs from horizontally spreading mosses.
• Attaches to driftwood, rocks, mesh and aquarium décor without substrate.
• Low-to-moderate light is sufficient and supplemental CO₂ is not required.
• Five verified source variants cover cup, multipack and tissue-culture formats.
