Peacock Moss (Taxiphyllum sp.) is similar to Christmas Moss but with fronds that are generally less puffy, with a softer, more velvet-like texture. It provides excellent shade and coverage for shrimp and fish, and is very versatile — it can be attached to hardscape or left free-floating.

Requires Aqua Soil No
Type Moss
Max Height Low-growing mat; trims to desired thickness
Placement Foreground to background (mounted on hardscape or free-floating)
Light Level Low to Medium (10-40 PAR)

Other Sold as approx. one golf-ball-sized portion. CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth and coloration, though not required.

Care & Planting: Attach to driftwood or rocks with thread or glue, or allow it to float freely. Avoid drastic changes in water parameters, which can cause melt and rotting. Propagate by cutting, ripping, or dividing portions.
