Japanese Takashi Amano has inspired many aquarium owners to keep the 1-5 cm tall cosmopolitic moss, Riccia fluitans, submerged. It can be kept down by tying it to a stone with a piece of fishing line, but new shoots always grow towards the surface, so it may be necessary to prune it with scissors. Riccia fluitans thrives best with added CO2 and in good growing conditions small oxygen bubbles form on the leaf tips. As a traditional floating plant offers good protection for young fish.

All Dennerle Plant-It! In-Vitro plants are cultivated under sterile conditions. This ensures that there are no pest infestations or pathogens present.

Hannah R. ★★★★★

The little clumps stayed put on my stone once I wrapped the line around them, and within two weeks they’d grown into a lush, low carpet. Water stays clear and the moss holds that vibrant green even under my basic light. Exactly the Amano-style look I was after.

Penelope ★★★★★

Tied it to a small lava rock with fishing line exactly like the description said, and it's already forming a nice carpet after just a week. The 1-5 cm height is perfect for my nano tank and doesn't block the view of my shrimp.

Matthew G. ★★★★★

Finally got that perfect underwater carpet effect I've been chasing — the moss is staying put with just a simple fishing line wrap. It's already showing new growth after only a week, exactly the lush look I wanted.
