Live Weeping Moss for Freshwater Aquariums, Cascading Low-Light Plant in Cups, Mats and Multipacks

Live Weeping Moss from Canton Aquatics grows in soft downward strands that create a cascading look across freshwater aquascapes. It can be attached to driftwood, rocks, mesh or other hardscape, adding texture while giving shrimp, fry and small fish a dense place to shelter and graze.

This hardy moss grows in low to moderate light and does not require substrate or added carbon dioxide. Cup, premium mat and multipack formats let aquarists choose an amount suited to a small accent, moss wall, tree-style hardscape or broader planted layout.
