This tropical moss, Riccardia chamedryfolia, originates from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. In nature, it often grows on damp stones and driftwood along streams. Its fine texture makes it an ideal hiding place for shrimp and young fish, which also use the moss to graze on food particles between the twigs.

Placement of Riccardia chamedryfolia: Attach the moss to hardscape (wood or stone) with fishing line, glue or gauze. It does not grow well when buried in the substrate. Light Riccardia chamedryfolia: It thrives in moderate to intense light. With more light, the moss grows more compactly and retains its bright green colour. Temperature: Preferably between 20°C and 26°C; cooler water is often better tolerated than too warm water. CO2: Not strictly necessary, but adding it significantly promotes healthy, vigorous growth. Flow: Good water circulation is important to prevent dirt from accumulating in the dense.
