Description
"Spiky moss" is a strong Taxiphyllum species that is not yet determined to species. Under good lighting it forms densely ramified deep green shoots resembling fir branches. It is a relatively fast grower for a moss.
Taxiphyllum sp. "Peacock" is one of the aquarium mosses that thrive not only under water but also emersed on wet substrate. In the ADA product range, it is available on the Wabi-kusa mats with the size of 9 x 9 cm that are suited for the back walls of the diverse DOOA aquaterrariums.
The hitherto unidentified Taxiphyllum species that is called "spiky moss" in Singapore is in our opinion identical with "peacock moss".
