Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame Moss' – A Unique, Twisting Moss for Eye-Catching Aquascapes

Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame Moss' is a distinctive and highly sought-after aquarium moss, named for its upward-growing, flame-like fronds. Unlike traditional spreading mosses, Flame Moss grows in vertical, twisting patterns, creating a dynamic and structured appearance in planted tanks. Its vibrant green, spiral growth makes it a perfect choice for attaching to driftwood, rocks, or mesh, adding depth and movement to aquascapes.

Easy Growth & Maintenance

Flame Moss is a hardy, low-maintenance plant that thrives in low to high lighting and does not require CO₂ injection, though CO₂ and nutrient-rich water will promote faster, denser growth. It adapts well to various water conditions and grows slowly, making it ideal for aquascapers who want long-lasting, sculptural greenery with minimal upkeep.

This moss can be tied or glued to hardscape where it will gradually attach itself, creating a stunning vertical effect. Regular trimming helps maintain its compact, flame-like appearance, preventing it from growing too stringy. It also serves as an excellent hiding place for shrimp, fry, and nano fish, making it a functional as well as decorative addition to any tank.
