Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum sp. "Flame")

Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum sp. “Flame”) is a unique and eye-catching moss known for its upright, twisting growth that resembles green flames. Unlike most mosses that spread outward, it grows vertically, making it perfect for adding height, texture, and detail to driftwood, rocks, and aquascapes.

This moss is very hardy and does not require CO₂, making it a great fit for low-tech and budget-friendly setups. It grows at a moderate pace and thrives in a wide range of water conditions, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced hobbyists.

Flame Moss is especially popular in shrimp tanks, as its dense structure traps biofilm and provides excellent grazing areas for Neocaridina shrimp, along with safe hiding spots for baby shrimp and fry.

It can easily be attached to surfaces using thread or glue, and with occasional trimming, it will maintain its signature flame-like shape.

Care tip: Attach to rocks, driftwood, or other surfaces using thread or glue. Trim occasionally to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.

If you're looking for a low-maintenance plant that adds a unique vertical look while supporting shrimp health and natural behavior, Flame Moss is a reliable and versatile choice.

Grown & Ready to Thrive

Our plants are grown fully submerged in aquarium setups with no CO2, stable temperatures of 70–76°F, and 4–8 hours of light daily. This ensures they are already adapted to real aquarium conditions, making them easier to transition and grow in your tank.

Please note: plants may contain small snails or snail eggs, which are harmless and often beneficial, helping break down waste and support a healthy aquarium ecosystem.
