Christmas moss is one of the most popular aquarium moss and probably one of the most popular aquarium plants in general. This means it shouldn't be difficult to find in aquarium stores, although quality can vary. At The Shrimp Farm we sell high quality Christmas Moss as well, attached to things like this Coconut Rabbit Shell or as shown on stainless steel. You can also buy it loosely in golf ball sized clumps
Christmas moss is considered one of the easiest plants in the hobby, which means it doesn't actually have that many requirements. No need for added Co2, nutrient dosing or high lighting. In fact, you don't even have to plant this moss! If you're just growing it to keep your shrimp happy and healthy, you can just toss it into your tank and forget about it.
Christmas Moss is a good addition to your shrimp tank and do nothing but benefit your tank. Shrimp love to graze on Christmas moss and will pick at it. If you don't want to have a pile of moss floating freely through your aquarium, here are a few ways to make the most of any moss.
