General Description
The Vesicularia sp. "Triangle Moss" is a moss species belonging to the genus Vesicularia in the family Hypnaceae. This moss features slantingly upright dense shoots that ramify at regular intervals, with roundish-oval leaflets that have an acute tip and wide leaf cells. It is commonly available commercially and has been known by various names such as "Triangle Moss" or "San Jiao Moss."
Aquarium Suitability
With an aquarium compatibility of "yes," Vesicularia sp. "Triangle Moss" is suitable for aquatic environments and is often found in nano tanks due to its fine-leaved appearance. It is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for beginner aquarists.
Demands and Hardiness
The moss has moderate demands in terms of carbon dioxide levels (20-40mg/l), lighting (low to high), and optimal temperature tolerance between 15-30°C. It can thrive in a pH range of 5-7 and under varying nitrate, phosphate, and potassium levels. The moss can propagate through splitting and cutting off daughter plants.
Aquascaping & Usage
Vesicularia sp. "Triangle Moss" is commonly used as an epiphyte, growing on hardscapes within aquariums. Its dense and finely ramified shoots make it a desirable choice for aquascaping, especially in nano tank setups.
Propagation
Propagation of Vesicularia sp. "Triangle Moss" can be achieved by splitting the moss or cutting off daughter plants. This method allows for easy and sustainable growth within the aquarium environment.
Habitat and Distribution
The specific habitat and distribution of Vesicularia sp. "Triangle Moss" in the wild remain unknown. However, commercially, this moss is frequently available, making it accessible to aquarists looking to incorporate it into their aquatic setups.
