Description
This curiosity became known in the last years as "Loxogramme sp., Wave moss". It resembles a liverwort and has turned out as a gametophyte (prothallium) of the Java Fern, Microsorum pteropus. It is also similar to the "Suesswassertang" or "Round Pellia" (prothallium of Lomariopsis) but has considerably smaller, softer, darker green thallus branches. With time, it forms dark green cushions. The underside and margins of the thallus branches are covered with dark brown, hair-like rhizoids.
The Microsorum pteropus prothallium grows very slowly; it is not really demanding and still grows with low lighting, however it develops best with good CO2 and nutrient supply. It is best tied to rock, wood or moss pads where its thalli will attach themselves more or less to the substrate.
The "Wave moss" is especially interesting for lovers of rare aquarium plants. It can be used like a moss as an epiphyte for the hardscape and is better suited to nano tanks than the bigger Lomariopsis prothallium.

After five months it has come up unbelievably well. It grows out of roundish mosses with its long leaves. With shrimp that's exciting. (read more)

Sehr interessant
Sie ist nach fünf Monaten unglaublich gut aufgegangen. Wächst aus rundlichen Moosen mit ihren langen blättern raus. Mit Garnelen ist das spannend. Hätte sie vielleicht auch als riesigen "Busch" ankleben sollen. Bestimmt prima an Hölzern.
Very satisfied as always. Always well packed, shipping as fast as nowhere else, and I love this caring service.
As well as the quality

Sensationell
Bin sehr zufrieden wie immer. Ist immer gut verpackt versand so schnell wie nirgendwo und ich liebe diesen liebevollen Service.
So wie die Qualität
This moss is darker than Monosolenium tenerum and very pretty in appearance. Unfortunately my pad had black beard algae on it, and without them it would be nicer.

Leider mit Pinselalgen, ansonsten sehr gesunder Farn
Dieses Moos ist dunkler als Monosolenium tenerum und sehr hübsch im Aussehen. Leider waren an meinem Pad Pinselalgen und ohne diese wäre es doch schöner.
