Taxiphyllum barbieri 'Bogor Moss' Tissue Culture
Bogor Moss is a form of the classic Java moss, Ectropothecium barbieri (long catalogued as Taxiphyllum barbieri), growing into a dense, irregular tangle of fine green fronds that’s virtually foolproof. Tie or glue it to wood or rock and it will spread readily, offering ideal cover and grazing surface for shrimp and fry. This tissue-culture portion arrives clean and pest-free.
Care level: Easy · Placement: Epiphyte (on wood/rock) · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Fast · Propagation: division

When it ships
Most non-quarantined stock goes out the week you order. If we do not already have the animal in-house we source it first — allow up to two weeks for it to reach us. Live animals leave Monday and Tuesday, and Early AM Overnight is the only service that carries a live arrival guarantee.
The live guarantee
Shipped Early AM Overnight: a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery, and nothing beyond it. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Local pickup or local delivery: 24 hours, if you bring a water sample from your aquarium and we test it before the animal goes home. Maintenance clients: 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month, 28 days on a monthly plan.
