Description

Create an underwater bonsai feature with live moss already attached. Supplied ready to position, this ornamental aquarium tree gives your aquascape a focal point without attaching the moss yourself. Available in Mini, Small and Medium sizes.

Easy care: low to medium light; no CO₂ injection required.
Living greenery: the moss gradually fills out as it grows.
Useful shelter: moss gives shrimp a surface to graze on and provides cover for fry and small fish.

Setting up: gently rinse the tree, then place it in your aquarium. Weights around the legs help keep it submerged while it settles.

Keeping its shape: trim the moss lightly when needed to maintain the bonsai outline.

Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start

Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start from scratch. Firstly was very impressed with the care that the plant had received during packaging, arrived look fresh and healthy, put in my newly purchased betta tank and was immediately impressed. One week later still looking good and showing no signs of decline. Look to purchase more plants on wood it the near future. Would highly recommend.

Review

I love this! I have a 56L tank and this fitted in perfectly. It looks beautiful and there’s still plenty room for the fish to swim around comfortably. It came perfectly packaged and I’d definitely recommend the 1-2 day delivery option. It came looking exactly how it did on the website. The only downside I could say is it is quite pricey but overall I am very happy and so are the fishies!!

Review

Arrived very well packaged, and the java moss is super healthy and attached securely. It sank when placed into my tank straight away and looks amazing! Highly recommend

Product FAQs

Helpful details before you buy.

Is the tree trunk real wood or artificial?

The trunk is a sculpted decorative structure. The moss on it is a real live aquarium plant.

Does the moss need CO2 or specialist lighting?

No — aquarium moss is very low-tech and grows under standard aquarium lighting without CO2.

What tank size suits the small version?

It works from 30 litres upward and is versatile enough for small aquariums as a centrepiece or in larger tanks as one of several feature pieces.

Will the moss spread over time?

Yes — the moss will slowly increase its coverage. Occasional trimming keeps the bonsai shape defined and the growth compact.

Is it safe for shrimp?

Yes — aquarium moss is excellent for shrimp tanks. Shrimp graze on it constantly and use the structure for shelter.
