Tropica 003B POR - Vesicularia Ferriei Weeping Moss

Tropica 003B POR - Vesicularia Ferriei Weeping Moss is a live hanging aquarium moss for aquascapers who want to add depth and contrast to a planted tank. It is at its best attached to driftwood or roots, where its drooping growth gives a soft, cascading look.

Key Benefits
