Fissidens fontanus is a delicate feathery dark green aquatic moss clinging to driftwood or rocks with its rhizoids, forming roundish cushions or lawn-like populations. It is also known under the synonym Octodiceras fontanum and in the trade as “Fissidens geppii”. We cultivate two variants of this species, which differ in size when growing in the same environment. The smaller variant is what we call “Phoenix moss”. It develops around 3 to 5 mm long leaflets, is of a somewhat darker green and has an overall more delicate growth habit and looks more compact as it branches more readily than the larger variant.

Gorgeous solitary plant for bigger tanks
Greenish -green to red leaves
Dark spot and stripe pattern
The most popular waterlily in the aquarium hobbyThe Nymphaea ‘Tiger Lotus Green’ is a stunning aquatic plant, often referred to as the Green Tiger Lotus. Despite its name, it is actually a type of water lily, not a true lotus. Here are some key points about this plant:
- Appearance: It features heart-shaped leaves with a brilliant reddish-purple tint. The leaves can grow both submerged and floating, adding a dynamic look to your aquarium.
- Growth: This plant is known for its fast growth rate and can become quite large, making it suitable for midground or background placement in your tank.
- Care: The Green Tiger Lotus is undemanding but a heavy feeder. It thrives with regular fertilization and can benefit from CO2 supplementation. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and pH levels.
- Pruning: To manage its size and prevent it from shading other plants, you can prune the floating leaves.
- Propagation: It can produce flowers and seeds, and under good conditions, it can develop offset plantlets that can be separated and planted in other tanks.

Utricularia graminifolia is a grass-like bladderwort species from the Asian tropics that grows into a lush bright light green lawn. It is thus quite popular in aquascaping, too. It is not always easy to cultivate, but under favourable conditions (lots of light, soft water, CO2, macro- and micronutrient fertilisation) it is a fast grower.
