1. Peacock Moss (for Aquariums):

• Scientific Name: Taxiphyllum sp. "Peacock" (the exact species within the Taxiphyllum genus is often unidentified).
• Appearance: This aquatic moss has vibrant, bright emerald green fronds that grow in a distinctive triangular, feather-like pattern, resembling a peacock's tail. The texture is often described as softer and more velvety than Christmas moss.
• Aquarium Use: It's a popular choice for planted aquariums due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy care. It can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or used to create moss walls and carpets. It provides excellent hiding places for shrimp and small fish, and a surface for beneficial biofilm growth.
• Care:
  • Lighting: Low to medium light is sufficient. Higher light can promote more compact growth and better-defined fronds.
  • Water Parameters: Tolerant of a wide range of parameters, with a preferred temperature between 18-28°C (64-82°F) and a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.
  • CO2: Not required, but can enhance growth.
  • Fertilisation: Minimal requirements, but can benefit from occasional liquid fertilisation.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate compared to some other aquatic mosses.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by dividing the existing moss.
