Aquarium mosses

Today not one link but three, for those who cultivate mosses in the aquarium.

The first site is Aquamoss

an English-language website, maintained by a tru mosses fan, with several articles on the subject.
A true gold mine for those who cultivate bryophytes in the aquarium.

The second site Bryophyte Ecology is the digital version of the homonymous book written by Dr. Janice Glim PhD at M.S. University.
Does not explicitly deal to aquarium mosses still contains a wealth of great value informations. In English.

The third site aquamoss.ch is maintained by Sebastian Prati a mossess and shrimps fan.

Despite the name of the site I found only some cards about mosses, however, I suggest a visit to the site for articles on shrimps where stand out the one on anatomy of Caridina sp..

Tropica Aquarium Plants

Tropica is a major European grower and seller of aquatic plants, it' site is in my opinion one of the most useful for those involved in aquaplanting.


This website provides consultation for plants data, those informations are a landmark in this field.
Recently has become available an on-line electronic version of their catalog which alone is worth the time to visit the site.
Very interesting and in-depth articles also present.
