Description
The Queen moss is one of the very few aquarium mosses from tropical America. It was first introduced as "Amblystegiaceae sp. Manaus" and later determined as Hydropogonella gymnostoma by a Japanese moss expert. It is a true water moos which colonizes in its natural area - Central and South America - substrates in waters such as tree trunks and stones. Until now, the Queen moss is quite rare in the aquarium hobby.
Hydropogonella gymnostoma develops delicate, soft, irregularly branched stems with freshly green leaves whose shape resembles a propeller blade. This aquatic moss grows bushy with more or less ascending stems. We do not have exact information about its culture requirements, however it is apparently not difficult, and for a moss it has a relatively fast growth.

Einfach genial das Moos
Hallo, ich hatte das Glück, im Januar 2019 die letzte Portion von den tollen Moos hier zu ergattern. Anfangs tat es sich sehr schwer, da mein Aquarium schwach beleuchtet ist und mit über 30 Panzerwelsen bestückt auf Sandboden besteht. Dachte schon, dass wird nichts mehr und gab Reste vom Queen Moss direkt aufsitzen auf der Monsterawurzel unter die Nano Beleuchtung. Nicht mehr darum gekümmert und nach einen halben Jahr konnte ich ein großes Büschel ernten und unten auf den Sandboden fixieren. Heute gehört das Moos mit zur fast identischen Gestaltung meines Biotop Aquariums Estación Tres Gigantes - Pantanal Paraguayo und macht mich sehr stolz.
Very good quality ( ceramic and stainless steel mesh ) and vitality of the moss. It couldn't be greener. The long-sought moss from the Amazon Delta.
