Willow Moss - Aquatic live plant Golf Ball size Portion Fish Tank Fry Aquarium

Description

Willow moss is a freshwater moss that belongs to the fontinalaceae family. It is native to the upper regions of North America but can also be found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. This aquatic plant thrives in fast-flowing rivers and springs but can adapt to still water as well. Its appearance closely resembles that of a willow tree, which is how it got its name.

Benefits of Willow Moss in an Aquarium

1. Water Quality Improvement: Willow moss absorbs nitrates and other nutrients from the water, leading to better water quality.
2. Oxygen Production: Through photosynthesis, willow moss releases oxygen, helping to maintain oxygen levels in the tank.
3. Fish Breeding: In breeding tanks, willow moss provides a safe haven for eggs of egg-scattering fish, such as the lemon tetra. The eggs can land on the moss and remain hidden until they hatch.
4. Food Source for Fry: Willow moss sometimes harbors microorganisms within its leaves and branches, providing food for newly hatched fry.
