Description
This very beautiful Fissidens is very similar and probably identical with Fissidens sp. "Miroshaki". It is possible that different species are spread in the hobby and trade under the name Fissidens sp. "Mini", however we retain this name for the time being. This slowly growing moss thrives above as well as under water and forms a deeply green, dense, low mat. The feather-like, soft shoots are compact, about 4 mm wide, densely branched and rather prostrate to ascending.
In the aquarium Fissidens sp. "Mini" grows slowly and benefits from CO2 supply and good nutrient supply. It can be tied to the hardscape and moss pads; if it is delivered as Sphagnum pad, it can be placed on the aquarium ground.
With its rather spreading, densely branched growth, Fissidens sp. "Mini" is highly recommendable for aquascaping. It looks well on the hardscape in the foreground to midground, also in nano tanks.
