Description

Christmas Moss is as mysterious as other mosses in the hobby and there is no consensus on its geographic origin. Its growth habits and appearance are just as varied. When grown attached to a piece of driftwood or rock, it forms triangular fronds in the shape of Christmas trees (hence the common name). If allowed to grow free floating, it tends to have a much less organized appearance and the triangular fronds are much less pronounced. In this form, it is often confused for the much more common Java Moss. In lower light, it grows much less densely, and again, is often much less organized in structure. Only under higher light conditions, attached or anchored to an object, does Christmas Moss show its true structure. It will form a pillowy bush of triangular fronds that is very attractive and undemanding. This moss is very easy to grow in the aquarium, as it will grow with almost any amount of light. Although not as hardy as the legendary Java Moss, it will survive with low light and no CO2. Growth will not be the ideal structure and will be considerably slower, but it will still live. Like other mosses, Christmas Moss prefers cooler temperatures, under 77F. Over this, it tends to suffer, growing more slowly. As an aquascaping element, its uses are limited to covering hardscape (rocks, driftwood) or creating a moss wall. Christmas Moss is best bought from other hobbyists who have it growing under ideal conditions in their own aquariums (thus making identification easier). Getting it in a local pet store can be risky, as Java Moss can be passed off as Christmas Moss at less than reputable establishments. Shrimp and fish fry use it as cover and it is also an excellent source of food for both, harboring tiny infusoria (bugs). You will receive a golfball size portion of Christmas Moss via first class mail for a BUY NOW SALE PRICE of $10.00 with free shipping. Seller accepts paypal and immediate payment at the close of the auction.
