Java Moss Taxiphyllum Barbieri Easy Live Aquarium Plant

Came 2 days early! So excited! It's green and looks healthy. Tied it to a piece of wood and put into the tank. Can't wait for it to spread and grow. I love moss!

Moss arrived quickly and in good health. Nice portion size as well!

The media could not be loaded. I’m so mad! 1) these plants caused an infestation of detritus worms in my shrimp tank. They’re eeeeverywhere and it’s disgusting. I can’t really do a deep water change because I have shrimplets in the tank and I don’t want them to get sucked up. 2) I didn’t get anywhere near the amount or the quality of the description picture. It’s advertised so lush and green but I got a tiny baggie of dying plant. I forgot to take a picture straight out of the package but I have pictures after I separated it into my tank 3) delivery was delayed from 2/27 to 3/3 and no live plant sticker for the carrier to even know to take extra care with it. 4) the box came with a contact email so I messaged the seller expressing my dissatisfaction and asked for a replacement as it’s a non-returnable item. Although they apologized, the seller would only send a replacement if I purchased another set of plants because they didn’t want to pay the $5 shipping cost just to send me a replacement. I’m so disappointed and I just got my shrimp tank together and healthy prior to this plant addition. Stay away from this!

Right up top, I think 4 stars for live plants on Amazon is a good expectation. I purchased 3 different plants in one order from this seller, so I'm going to copy the same review to each item. I'll try to update as things grow in.I ordered Hornwort, Java Moss, and Crypt Parva for a new mini shrimp jar. I placed my order on a Saturday evening and I did choose to pay for faster shipping to ensure they had the best chance. To my surprise, the order was filled and shipped Sunday morning. I just received them Wednesday morning and planted everything. It was in a box with a bubblewrap bag with the plants inside. Everything was intact.I received a tissue culture of something for free with my order, not sure what it is yet. Looks green and healthy, we'll see - I sometimes have bad luck with tissues.The hornwort I'm giving 4 stars. It feels strong, but bristly and it's browner than I would hope. Kind of a messy bundle, but it's okay for me because I chopped it into pretty short stems anyways. I expect the color to improve over time, maybe with some trimming and replanting.The java moss also gets 4 stars. It's java moss. Maybe the clump of moss seemed a little small... but again this was a situation where I really didn't need very much, so it worked out. It looks and feels healthy, and it will grow.The crypt parva gets 5 stars. Looked just as good, if not better, than a plant in a bag would look if I drove to my LFS and bought one. Big and healthy and easy to split into smaller pieces. I was worried the crown might be mushy but it's awesome.Overall, my experience is better than I expected. I'll try to update in a few weeks once things settle in, but based on how they look and feel, it would likely be my fault if they died.

Arrived on time and looks healthy. It does show that it’s a small pkg, but it’s a really small amount for the price. I’ll write another review after it grows. I gave it 5 stars because I knew it was pretty small and ordered anyway. There really aren’t a great selection of aquarium plants on Amazon. Here is my update. I received this on June 28th and today is July 8th, 2023. I split the small pkg and put half into my two aquariums. And it just took off growing. It’s grown probably three or more inches already. I have lots of plants in each aquarium also to add oxygen. They are looking great. So don’t worry about the small pkg because it really grows fast. I will buy more plants from this company in the future. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Mine arrived late, dried out, and browning,zip lock sandwitch bags not like the pitcher, vacuum sealed.I have made a moss growing aquarium as per YouTube in hopes that I can save the moss

I have purchased these twice from this vendor. I have a 20-gallon fish tank and wanted a more natural environment. This plant has helped.

Came in a small little bag, and a bit of the clump was brown and a dark green. Separated it a bit and stuck it in my aquarium, tying some to lava rocks and letting others just float or sink wherever. After a while didn't think it was gonna grow, but eventually after like a month or two noticed a bunch of very small tiny green shoots popping up all over the moss branches. Also it seems these little green shoots are actually attaching themselves to the rocks. So it will grow, but takes a while to adapt and needs light to do so.Edit/Update: So updating this review, and lowering my review score... Made another order for this since the first one was so good. When the second one came, what I got was beyond disappointing. The first I ordered came in a little bag that was FULL and gave me enough to cover multiple rocks - like 4-6 rocks. The second order I got gave me a bag with a TINY little pathetic clump that didn't even fill half the small bag it came in. Was only enough for two tiny little rocks. I would not recommend this as it's a gamble as to whether you get a tiny clump or not. The second batch was not worth the money spent and the time it took to get delivered. I got so little the second time I could literally have cut off a small bit from the first batch that grew in another aquarium and I would have had more than what they sent me the second order. Also one more thing, while the first order was great and grew very BIG I did get detritus worms, lots of tiny worms that just appeared out of nowhere and judging by some of the other reviews on here it seems they probably came from this moss.I attached a picture that shows the comparison. First pic was my first order, and second pic was the pathetic clump I got in my second order.
