Shrimp Moss (Subwasser) Small
Description
Shrimp Moss "Subwassertang" (Lomariopsis lineata)
Subwassertang is a unique, liverwort-type aquatic plant often mistaken for moss. Its free-form, leafy appearance and low-maintenance care make it a favorite in both shrimp tanks and aquascapes seeking a natural, flowing look.
Appearance:
Subwassertang forms loose, tangled clusters of translucent green fronds. Its texture is soft and slightly ruffled, with a leaf-like appearance rather than the thread-like growth of true mosses. It does not attach itself naturally, but can be tied or left as a floating mat.
Aquarium Use:
This plant is ideal for foreground placement, shrimp tanks, or as a free-floating mass in low-flow areas. It provides excellent cover for shrimp, fry, and microfauna. When anchored, it creates soft, cushiony accents in natural-style scapes.
Care Requirements: Subwassertang grows well in low to medium light and does not require COâÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ. The preferred temperature range is 20 to 28°C (68 to 82°F), and it tolerates a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Growth is slow to moderate, and it benefits from clean, stable water conditions.
Additional Notes:
Though not a true moss, Subwassertang behaves similarly in aquascaping. It does not root or cling naturally, so it must be weighed down or tied to hardscape if placement is desired. Over time, it forms attractive, cloud-like clumps that can be trimmed and reshaped. Its resilience and soft texture make it a favorite in shrimp and low-tech tanks.
