Java Moss Taxiphyllum Barbieri Easy Live Aquarium Plant

Java moss is good quality, healthy, and growing well in my shrimp tank and freshwater aquarium. Stated off a bit brownish, but quickly greened up beautifully and continues to grow and grow. Great purchase.

I bought 3 of them at once. What a waste of money l. Came sealed with no leaks but visibly brown which I thought was normal since it was mailed. But after putting it in my tank, they fell apart. They were shredded pieces of java moss. Not a decent sized plant at all. They settled on my substrate, like grass, most is brown and it provided no cover for my fry. At all. The pieces were tiny. It will probably take 2 years grows and provides adequate coverage. I ended up buying some from a different supplier and for the same price, not only did I not get any brown, I got a gallon zip lock full and it's 2 weeks old and thriving and my fry swing into it for cover. I actually split it into 2 different tanks. Unlike this product which was useless. Look for another seller that doesn't shred their java moss

The Java moss arrived fast. It was packaged well and was not melted or brown. I rehydrated it and gave it’s a little quarantine with daily water changes to make sure there was no hitch hikers which I was happy there appears not to be any. The Java moss is healthy and thriving, already growing in the moss ball forms. Although I feel like the amount was small in size I am happy with the quality that arrived and hope it continues to grow.

I was very pleased to receive this quickly (meaning faster than most other orders). It was sent in its own box, and was sealed in a water tight bag. It was mostly green, and in excellent condition. I planted it in my aquarium by tying it with thread, onto a small piece of driftwood and onto another imitation log. It’s only been few days, but it seems to be doing well. If I should need more aquatic plants, I will order them from this supplier. EXCELLENT.

The moss was brownish so not exactly healthy. and they do not look like the picture in the photos. Also didn't realize it would float around everywhere so maintenance is a bit difficult. I suppose I should have researched better. They had no smell. The bundle was the same shape as one of the pictures showed. Felt like moss. It came as already grown so no seed.

Came in a small little bag, and a bit of the clump was brown and a dark green. Separated it a bit and stuck it in my aquarium, tying some to lava rocks and letting others just float or sink wherever. After a while didn't think it was gonna grow, but eventually after like a month or two noticed a bunch of very small tiny green shoots popping up all over the moss branches. Also it seems these little green shoots are actually attaching themselves to the rocks. So it will grow, but takes a while to adapt and needs light to do so. Edit/Update: So updating this review, and lowering my review score... Made another order for this since the first one was so good. When the second one came, what I got was beyond disappointing. The first I ordered came in a little bag that was FULL and gave me enough to cover multiple rocks - like 4-6 rocks. The second order I got gave me a bag with a TINY little pathetic clump that didn't even fill half the small bag it came in. Was only enough for two tiny little rocks. I would not recommend this as it's a gamble as to whether you get a tiny clump or not. The second batch was not worth the money spent and the time it took to get delivered. I got so little the second time I could literally have cut off a small bit from the first batch that grew in another aquarium and I would have had more than what they sent me the second order. Also one more thing, while the first order was great and grew very BIG I did get detritus worms, lots of tiny worms that just appeared out of nowhere and judging by some of the other reviews on here it seems they probably came from this moss. I attached a picture that shows the comparison. First pic was my first order, and second pic was the pathetic clump I got in my second order.

Right up top, I think 4 stars for live plants on Amazon is a good expectation. I purchased 3 different plants in one order from this seller, so I'm going to copy the same review to each item. I'll try to update as things grow in. I ordered Hornwort, Java Moss, and Crypt Parva for a new mini shrimp jar. I placed my order on a Saturday evening and I did choose to pay for faster shipping to ensure they had the best chance. To my surprise, the order was filled and shipped Sunday morning. I just received them Wednesday morning and planted everything. It was in a box with a bubblewrap bag with the plants inside. Everything was intact. I received a tissue culture of something for free with my order, not sure what it is yet. Looks green and healthy, we'll see - I sometimes have bad luck with tissues. The hornwort I'm giving 4 stars. It feels strong, but bristly and it's browner than I would hope. Kind of a messy bundle, but it's okay for me because I chopped it into pretty short stems anyways. I expect the color to improve over time, maybe with some trimming and replanting. The java moss also gets 4 stars. It's java moss. Maybe the clump of moss seemed a little small... but again this was a situation where I really didn't need very much, so it worked out. It looks and feels healthy, and it will grow. The crypt parva gets 5 stars. Looked just as good, if not better, than a plant in a bag would look if I drove to my LFS and bought one. Big and healthy and easy to split into smaller pieces. I was worried the crown might be mushy but it's awesome. Overall, my experience is better than I expected. I'll try to update in a few weeks once things settle in, but based on how they look and feel, it would likely be my fault if they died.

Decent amount and good quality. Just make sure to order when temperature is appropriate as there is little thermal protection in the package.
