Taxiphyllum 'Spiky'

‘Spiky’ Moss - A Vibrant, Dense Spiky Aquarium Moss

Taxiphyllum ‘Spiky’, also known as Spiky Moss, is a robust, fast-growing aquarium moss ideal for shrimp tanks, moss walls, and hardscape attachment. Its name comes from its distinctive spiky, feathered fronds, which grow in a bold V-shape and create dense, architectural layers in any aquascape.

Unlike finer mosses, Spiky Moss retains its form well and grows upright, making it perfect for attaching to driftwood, rock, or mesh. It performs best in low to medium light, and does not require CO₂, making it ideal for low-tech and beginner-friendly setups.

This moss provides excellent cover for shrimps and fry, offers great biofilm surface area, and adds a lush, forest-like texture to midground areas. It can also be used to build moss trees, caves, or create layered terracing on hardscape.

Minimal trimming is required, but regular shaping helps maintain structure and avoid overgrowth.
