Willow Moss, scientifically known as Fontinalis antipyretica, is a type of moss commonly found in freshwater habitats such as streams and ponds. This aquatic plant belongs to the Bryidae subclass and is frequently encountered in running water environments.

Willow Moss is typically attached to stones or driftwood. This species, F. antipyretica, is easily identified by its glossy, yellowish green or dark green phyllids (leaves) that grow in long, slender branches measuring 4 to 7 mm (0.2 to 0.25 inch) in length.

Easy to grow, adaptable willow moss ideal for beginners and experts. Thrives in cooler temperatures and low to moderate light. Growth can be relatively fast for a moss. It can be propagated simply by cutting off the branching shoots.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
