Java Moss is a moss belonging to the Hypnaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it is commonly used in freshwater aquariums. It attaches to rocks, roots, and driftwood. The taxonomy of this well-known plant is not resolved; formerly placed in the genus Versicularia as V. dubyana (Brotherus, 1908), it appears as if the plant usually known as java moss belongs into Taxiphyllum, as T. barbieri.

  • Java Moss is a moss belonging to the Hypnaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it is commonly used in freshwater aquariums. It attaches to rocks, roots, and driftwood. The taxonomy of this well-known plant is not resolved; formerly placed in the genus Versicularia as V. dubyana (Brotherus, 1908), it appears as if the plant usually known as java moss belongs into Taxiphyllum, as T. barbieri. Java Moss does not require any special attention. It accepts all kind of waters, even weakly brackish, and all kind of light qualities. It grows best at 70-75 degrees fahrenheit (21-23.8 degrees celcius), but can live in temperatures of up to 85-90 degrees F (29-32 degrees C). It is a low light plant and makes a great foreground plant. In aquariums you should plant it somewhere where there is good water current because debris gets stuck on it easily and gives it a brown fuzzy appearance. Due to its clinging nature Java Moss can also be made into a moss wall. This can be accomplished by folding a net and spreading the moss evenly across it. Then, the net can be secured together by polyester strings, and held on the aquarium wall by using suction cups. It is a slow starter until it has established itself. It is especially popular among aquarists raising fry (baby fish) and tadpoles, to protect them from cannibalistic adults. Java Moss can also provide food for the newly form fry, which can be challenging to feed. Some shrimp like to tear the miniature leaves on it to eat. Java Moss can be easily propagated via division. It is suitable for both aquariums and vivariums. (en)
  • Das Javamoos (Vesicularia dubyana) ist eine Moosart, die häufig in Aquarien oder Terrarien gepflegt wird. Es stammt aus Südostasien (China, Thailand, Indonesien), wo es an Flussufern sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb des Wassers wächst. Was die Wasserqualität angeht, ist es nicht sehr anspruchsvoll. Angeblich kommt es sogar mit leicht brackigem Wasser zurecht. Vom Habitus her handelt es sich um eine typische Hypnacee mit einfach und locker fiedrig verzweigten Stämmchen und hell- bis sattgrüner Farbe . (de)
  • Vesicularia dubyana, communément appelée mousse de Java, est une mousse très utilisée en aquariophilie ainsi qu'en terrariophilie. Il est en effet possible de la cultiver dans une multitude de conditions: sous l'eau ou hors de l'eau, sous éclairage faible ou intense. Par ailleurs elle constitue un excellent support de ponte pour les pontes dispersées d'oeufs collants ainsi qu'un bon moyen de limiter la prédation sur les oeufs, larves et alevins lors de la reproduction. Enfin lorsqu'elle est maintenue contre un substrat poreux elle s'y fixe progressivement, ce qui permet une large utilisation dans des décors végétaux. Elle se multiplie par simple division de la touffe. (fr)
  • Javamose er en populær akvarieplante. Den fester seg til steiner og røtter, og rekved. Den vokser sakte, men trenger ikke spesielt mye tilsyn. Den har stor toleranse for ulike temperaturer og vannkvaliteter, og tåler til og med vann med litt salt i. Ideell temperatur ligger mellom 15 og 28°C. (no)
