General Description
Fissidens nobilis, commonly known as a noble fissidens or fissidens moss, is a species of moss belonging to the family Fissidentaceae. Native to subtropical and tropical regions of Asia and the Pacific Islands, this moss is a slow-growing plant that can adapt to various environments.
Aquarium Suitability
Considered suitable for aquariums, Fissidens nobilis can thrive in nano tanks as an epiphyte, often growing on hardscape elements. With a medium difficulty level, it is an ideal choice for foreground planting and can be used in groups to create a lush appearance (see table).
Demands and Hardiness
The demands and hardiness of Fissidens nobilis include a requirement for carbon dioxide levels of 20-40mg/l and a pH range of 5-7. It can tolerate a temperature range of 18-26°C and varying light levels from low to high. Other parameters such as nitrate levels, phosphate levels, and potassium concentrations should also fall within specific ranges for optimal growth.
Aquascaping & Usage
In aquascaping, Fissidens nobilis can be utilized to create intricate designs in nano tanks, adding a natural and vibrant touch to the underwater landscape. Its epiphytic nature allows for creative placement on driftwood, rocks, or other aquarium decorations.
Propagation
Propagation of Fissidens nobilis can be achieved through splitting the plant or by cutting off daughter plants. This moss has the potential to spread and form dense colonies under favorable conditions, making it a popular choice for aquarists looking to enhance the visual appeal of their tanks.
Habitat and Distribution
This species is found in a wide range of habitats across Asia, including countries such as China, Japan, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Its presence in subtropical and tropical regions indicates its adaptability to varied environmental conditions, showcasing its resilience and widespread distribution.
