Description:
Ectropothecium barbieri is a versatile aquarium moss known for its deep green hue and thin fronds. It thrives in a variety of aquarium conditions, making it a popular choice for aquascaping. This moss can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or left free-floating, providing natural shelter for aquatic life. It is particularly favored in breeding projects as it offers coverage for fry. While it grows well in low light, CO2 injection can enhance its growth and coloration. Native to Southeast Asia, it forms loose cushions and is easy to propagate. It can also be used to create green carpets or cover hardscape features in aquariums.
