Fissidens Nobilis is rare but more rigid and compact fissidens type compared to common ones like Fontanus but is still easy to grow in a well-maintained aquarium. Nobilis grows long, roughly 1 inch long compact, feathery, thicker fronds that will eventually spread laterally along porous hardscape.
Fissidens Nobilis does not require any special care other than basic, clean water and low-to-moderate lighting. This moss is more prone to algae simply because of its shape and slow growth, so keep that in mind if you have an issue with algae control. Our Fissidens nobilis is grown submerged in low-tech shrimp tanks. Only super-healthy, bright green cuttings will be harvested and shipped directly to customers.
Typical portions will be a few fronds (roughly the size of a nickel), which will be more than enough to start propagating your own beautiful piece. We do not sell large clumps or pre-made containers of moss because these typically do not adapt as well to new tank parameters.
How to grow: We recommend you cut your new moss up into small ½” to ¾” pieces and tie or glue it to whatever surface you would like to attach it to. Each new end will continue to grow and eventually produce a lush, full, beautiful plant. Alternatively, the purchased pieces can be left as-is and each cut end will branch out.
Disclaimer: All plants or moss may contain baby shrimp or snails.
All Ryan Hoagland products will be shipped from his facility in Indiana. Therefore they must be purchased in a separate transaction using the Ryan Hoagland shipping options. Moss ships on Monday and Tuesdays.
