Stringy Moss

The Plant
Leptodictyum riparium, also called stringy moss, a moss found all over the world. It grows in thin, upright strands of bright green with a slightly see-through look. It is easy, hardy and handles both cool and warm water, which makes it a popular beginner and nano tank moss.

Comes as a Tropica tissue culture cup: grown in lab gel, so it arrives free of snails, algae, pests and pesticides. Rinse off the gel and split it into small portions to plant.

Why Shrimp Keepers Like It
Moss is a classic shrimp plant. Biofilm and fine food settle into it for shrimp to graze, and baby shrimp hide deep inside it.
