Java moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) In Tropical Freshwater Aquarium

The Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, is the most common aquatic moss kept in the aquarium. The Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, is self-attaching, and a very natural aquascape can be created by tying the Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, onto aquarium objects like stones or driftwoods with thin fishing line or cotton thread. The Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, will produce rhizoids (root-like structures) and attach the moss to the objects. The rhizoids function as organs of attachment and do not have a role in nutrient absorbtion. Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, is widely used by aquarists as a spawning medium. Egg scatterers such as barbs and characins will scatter their eggs onto the Java Moss, and the moss prevents the fish from devouring their eggs as the eggs would have fallen into the moss. It is also the perfect spawning medium for the plant spawners group of killifish, where a clump of Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, can be introduced into a small tank with the killifish, and the moss can be collected a week later, which will be full of eggs. The Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, can also be the perfect filter medium for fry rearing. Other than providing micro-organism for the growing fry, the Java Moss, Taxiphyllum barbieri, soaks up all the waste products produced by the fry and the leftover foods ------------------------------------ My page ►► http://www.vjestnik.com/ SUBSCRIBE for more ►►http://bit.ly/1MhbNy8 My Aquariums ►► http://bit.ly/1P8lsgU My Budgie/Papagaj ►► http://bit.ly/1O8DrF7
