Species Catalogue

Taiwan Moss is characterised by densely packed, small, round-tipped fronds that grow in a drooping or cascading habit, making it ideal for creating natural-looking hanging mosses on hardscape overhangs. Its fine texture creates a gentler, softer effect than Christmas Moss.

Thor's Hammer Java Fern is a distinctive cultivar of Microsorum pteropus featuring unique, compact hammer-shaped or club-shaped fronds that set it apart from standard Java Fern varieties. This slow-growing epiphytic fern displays deep green coloration and creates an attractive, sculptural appearance in aquascapes. It is an excellent choice for beginners due to its extreme hardiness and minimal care requirements.

The Tiger Lotus is a bulb plant with striking, broadly ovate leaves that are green or red, patterned with dark maroon spots. Without pruning it quickly sends large lily pads to the surface; regular removal of floating leaves keeps the submerged growth dense and compact. A dramatic, high-impact focal plant for mid-tanks.

Star-shaped whorled leaves create a unique visual. Needs very soft, acidic water and CO2. A true challenge plant for experienced hobbyists.

An exotic stem plant from the Amazon that produces tight spirals of fine, needle-like leaves arranged around the stem. It is challenging to keep, demanding very soft, acidic water and strong CO2 supplementation — conditions that mimic its blackwater origins. A showpiece plant in specialist Amazonian biotope and high-tech scapes.

Tonina Lotus Blossom is a stunning stem plant prized for its delicate, feathery foliage and vibrant coloration that ranges from green to deep red depending on light and nutrient availability. This variety exhibits a compact, bushy growth habit with intricate leaf patterns resembling lotus petals, making it a striking focal point in the midground to background. It is one of the most demanding aquatic plants and requires expert-level care to thrive.

Trident Java Fern is a distinctive variant of the classic Java Fern, featuring deeply lobed, trident-shaped fronds that create an intricate, feathery appearance. This slow-growing epiphytic fern adds elegant texture and visual interest to midground and background areas. It is extremely hardy and requires no special care, making it ideal for beginners and established aquariums alike.

Eleocharis Vivipara, Umbrella Hairgrass, is uniquely different from other hairgrass species — when grown submerged its slender stems branch repeatedly into arching, umbrella-like tufts rather than simple grass blades, creating a highly textural midground accent. Each stem tip can produce plantlets that anchor to substrate, aiding natural propagation. It needs moderate light and benefits from CO2.

Carnivorous aquatic plant used as a fine-leaved carpet alternative. Forms a delicate bright-green lawn. Requires CO2, high light, and soft water. Rewarding when established.

A tall, ribbon-leaved background plant that spreads aggressively by runners to create natural-looking grass beds. Leaves can reach 50–100 cm, making it ideal for very tall tanks or ponds. Very adaptable and grows without CO2 injection in moderate to hard water. An excellent fish habitat plant that oxygenates the water actively.

Unique Vallisneria that grows from a stem rather than a rosette. Long, narrow leaves cascade from branching stems. Unusual and attractive.

Vallisneria nana is a dwarf vallisneria with narrow, grass-like leaves that stay much shorter than spiral vallisneria. It spreads prolifically via runners and creates natural-looking meadow backgrounds. Excellent for tanks with moderate lighting and no CO2.

Vallisneria spiralis is a fast-growing ribbon grass that produces long, narrow, strap-like leaves that spiral slightly as they grow, creating a graceful waving motion in moderate current. It is one of the easiest and most forgiving background plants available, tolerating hard, alkaline water that challenges most aquatic plants. It spreads rapidly via runners and can quickly fill the background of large aquariums without CO2 injection.

The corkscrew Vallisneria produces striking, tightly twisted ribbon leaves that spiral as they grow. Unlike straight Vallisneria species it stays at a medium height (20–40 cm), making it more versatile in mid-sized tanks. A distinctive textural element in planted tank backgrounds, especially effective in Dutch Style rows.

Unusual floating plant with diamond-shaped surface leaves and feathery submerged leaves. Historically important food plant in Asia.

Water lettuce is a floating rosette plant with velvety, pale green leaves and a substantial root system. It provides excellent shade, nutrient export, and shelter for surface-shy fish. It grows rapidly in bright conditions and may become invasive outdoors.

Water Sprite is a versatile aquatic fern that can be grown both floating and rooted. The finely dissected, lacy fronds give it a delicate, feathery appearance. Floating specimens develop broader, more deeply lobed leaves and provide excellent surface cover and fry refuge. A classic, beginner-friendly plant that grows vigorously.

Stunning cold-water stem plant with whorls of feathery leaves. One of the most beautiful temperate aquarium plants. Challenging to keep in tropical tanks — prefers cool, clear, well-oxygenated water.

Water wisteria is a fast-growing stem plant with deeply lobed, feathery leaves that vary in form depending on light intensity. It is an excellent nutrient sponge that helps control algae in new setups. Cuttings root readily and it adapts to a wide range of water parameters.

One of the finest-leaved carpet plants in existence — creates an almost moss-like lawn of tiny round leaves. Extremely challenging; requires CO2, very high light, and excellent nutrient control. The pinnacle of carpeting plants.

Weeping Moss is prized for the elegant downward-drooping habit of its fine fronds, which cascade gracefully off driftwood and rocks like a willow tree in miniature. This weeping growth pattern is most pronounced in moderate flow and makes it one of the most aesthetically distinct mosses for aquascaping. It is slightly slower growing than Java Moss but creates a more refined, delicate textural effect.

One of the smallest and most versatile cryptocorynes — stays compact even in high light. Deep green, slightly wavy leaves. Perfect low-maintenance foreground or midground plant that spreads via runners.

Long, willow-shaped leaves up to 15 cm in length give this species a softer, more natural look compared to other Hygrophilas. The leaves are pale green and narrow, creating a flowing appearance in flow or current. One of the taller background choices in the genus.

Windelov Java Fern is a delicate, feathery variant of the classic Java Fern with distinctive finely-divided, lacy fronds that create an elegant, almost fern-like appearance. This slow-growing epiphyte is highly valued for its ornamental appeal and ease of care, making it ideal for aquascapers seeking a refined planted look without demanding conditions.
