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!

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!

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

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.

I thought it would die at first because it came in dark green, but it took right to my tank. Worth buy. size is roughly 1inch.

I purchased the buy two get one free deal. Not sure what I was expecting. Maybe something not so covered in brown goo? I definitely didn't want the snails.I cleaned it up as best as I could before putting it in my tank. I placed them in a mason jar first to see if there were hitchhikers. There were. I got most of them before the drop. Since it was all separated and cleaned off as best I could without damaging the moss. No way to fasten it down now that it is in strands. So it's all over. I just let the currents carry it to where it lives now. A lot of it is darker green now so I know it's not dying. So far I've pulled 8 additional snails from the walls. So I have a healthy population at least. My nitrile snails do not like them and pull away when one comes close. It was as described, the groups of Java moss.Star rating is based on the hitchhikers and the gunk. Didn't want that kind of snail in this tank. To late now. Overall the moss looks to be getting established. Once it's going strong (out not) I'll revisit and update. It's been a long time since I had moss growing in one of my tanks.Thank you for the deal. That made it worth it to me.

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.
