Fissidens Mini is a rare and highly sought-after aquarium moss known for its ultra-fine, feather-like fronds and compact, slow-growing habit. A smaller variant of Fissidens fontanus, this moss is ideal for nano aquariums, bonsai trees, moss pads, and fine-detail hardscape work where precision and subtle beauty are key.
With its deep green color and delicate, fan-shaped leaves, Fissidens Mini adds a soft, natural look to aquascapes and is especially popular in nature-style layouts and shrimp tanks. It thrives in low light and requires very little maintenance—perfect for both beginners and experienced aquascapers.
