Fissidens Mini is a compact, fine-textured aquatic moss prized for its neat, feather-like growth pattern and vibrant green coloration. Unlike many mosses that grow wild and unruly, Fissidens Mini develops in dense, tidy clumps that add a natural and refined appearance to aquascapes. Its small size makes it ideal for nano aquariums, detailed hardscape work, and creating the appearance of miniature forests on driftwood and stone. This moss attaches easily to rocks, wood, stainless steel mesh, and other hardscape materials. Given time, it will form lush cushions that provide excellent shelter for shrimp, fry, and microfauna. Fissidens Mini is a slow-growing species, but its unique texture and attractive growth habit make it well worth the wait. Care Requirements Difficulty: Easy to Moderate Lighting: Low to Medium Will grow under low light but develops denser, healthier growth with moderate lighting. CO₂: Not required but beneficial CO₂ supplementation promotes faster growth, fuller mats, and richer coloration. Temperature: 68–80°F (20–27°C) pH: 6.0–7.8 Growth Rate: Slow Placement: Foreground, midground, hardscape accents Propagation: Simply divide portions of the moss and attach them to new surfaces using thread, fishing line, super glue gel, or mesh. Tips for Success Avoid allowing algae to establish on the moss, as its fine leaves can trap debris. Moderate water flow helps keep the moss clean and healthy. Regular trimming will encourage a denser, more compact appearance. Excellent choice for shrimp tanks, nature aquariums, and high-end aquascapes. Whether attached to driftwood, stone, or mesh, Fissidens Mini brings a delicate, natural look that elevates any planted aquarium while providing valuable cover for shrimp and fish.
