Care Tips: Vesicularia on Lava Stone is a form of Java Moss (Vesicularia dubyana) that is attached to a piece of lava stone, making it easy to place in the aquarium without worrying about it floating or becoming uprooted. This moss is ideal for creating natural-looking aquascapes, providing a lush, green coverage over the lava stone while also offering hiding spots for small fish and shrimp. It thrives in low to medium lighting, making it a great choice for low-tech setups. Vesicularia prefers slightly acidic to neutral water, but it is quite adaptable to different water conditions. As a medium-growing moss, it doesn't require frequent pruning, but trimming it occasionally can help maintain a tidy appearance. Since it is attached to lava stone, it’s crucial not to bury the moss in the substrate, as doing so could affect its growth. Vesicularia on Lava Stone can help add texture and visual interest to any aquascape and is also beneficial for water filtration, as it provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize.
