Monosolenium tenerum is a liverwort and does not technically have leaves. The green part of the plant, which resembles leaves, is known among botanists as the thallus (plural thalli), and this thallus divides into fork-like branches, giving a cushion-formed growth. Monosolenium tenerum looks very much like Riccia magnified ten times. Riccia is well known for floating on the surface. It is heavier than water and therefore remains on the bottom. It only makes modest demands on the aquarium environment. Once it has begun to flourish it spreads generously and forms attractive cushions on the bottom of the aquarium. However, the plant is quite brittle and falls apart easily during transport, so transplanting it initially into the aquarium may not be easy. To give it the best possible start it can be attached with nylon line to a stone, or small sprays can be scattered between other plants such as Eleocharis, which will prevent it from being carried about in the aquarium by fish or water circulation.

Description: This moss can grow well in nearly any environment, it will typically grow in bush like shapes and produces leaves that look similar to a stags horns. It rich and potent green gives it a very fresh and natural look that can spruce up any tank.

Care Instruction: This plant is tough and only requires high amounts of light. It can live in a variety of temperatures (5-29C) and can live in either acidic or alkaline based water.

What compliments it:  This moss looks best when place in the foreground or middle of the tank and can be used to help plants that have red, yellow or purple colours.
