    The Aqua Essentials Taxiphyllum barbieri Scaper Pad are a great invention where moss has been grown on small wire mesh squares which are 4.5cmx4.5cm. Simply place a few of them into your tank and they will drop to the bottom. Shrimp love to clean moss and it's such an easy plant to grow. Ideal for beginners and up and even in low light, they do really well.

    Please note the picture shows the moss grown after a few months of growing however the piece you receive will have less moss growth as it is still in the ‘growing’ stage.

    Information about growing mosses:

    1. Slow growing

    Mosses are well known for being relaltively easy to grow. Due to the fact they are slow growing, it means demands are low. This means less light, less fertilisers and less care.

    2. Not too much light please

    Because all mosses are slow growing, you can't force them to grow quicker. So brighter light and loads of CO2 won't turbo charge them - actually you'll just end up stressing them out. Whilst some will always grow faster than others, mosses take time to get to the stage you want them to be. Patience.

    3. Trimming is beneficial

    Like all plants, mosses need trimming with a shaprt pair of scissors so don't hold back. Avoid them getting leggy, trim them to keep their shape and they will reward you with better growth which is a deeper green and dense.

    I bought these to help establish some moss in my tank for the shrimp and aesthetics, this stuff has come on leaps and bounds since been placed in the tank and appears to be out growing the Tropica moss purchased from another supplier, so I am very happy!

    I bought 3 of these to cover some rocks. They arrived promptly and looked healthy and I knew they would flourish. I week later, and they are twice the height!! I didn't expect them to grow THAT well! No complaints here! Lx

    The moss on these is a lot thinner than the picture shows and the nylon thread holding it on had exposed loops which were unsafe for my fish.
