Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame') is a striking aquatic moss known for its distinctive upward, flame-like growth pattern.

Portion Size: 5x5cm

  • Provides natural shelter and biofilm grazing for shrimp
  • Medium light requirements for best growth pattern
  • Benefits from CO2 injection but not essential

Care Requirements

  • Light: Medium
  • Temperature: 20-28°C
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Growth Rate: Slow to Medium
  • Difficulty: Moderate

Aquascaping Applications

Flame Moss is ideal for creating vertical accents in your aquascape. Attach it to vertical surfaces on driftwood or stone using fishing line, thread, or super glue gel to showcase its upward growth habit. It works beautifully as a midground feature, creating natural transitions and adding height variation. The distinctive flame-like pattern becomes more pronounced with proper lighting and nutrient levels, making it a standout feature in nature-style aquascapes.

Pro Tip: For the most dramatic flame effect, attach to vertical or angled surfaces and provide consistent medium lighting with CO2 supplementation.

Note: As a living plant, Flame Moss requires separate handling and shipping considerations. Please review our shipping policy for plant-specific delivery information.
