The Taxiphyllum barbers of Southeast Asia is a rustic plant that does not require much water or light. The moss has a thickness of 3-10 cm and grows willingly on any surface, so it is ideal for decorating stones and roots of trees or hiding installations in the aquarium.

Attach the plant with a piece of fishing wire or cotton thread until it has acquired a grip on the decor. If its growth becomes too luxuriant, it can be pruned with scissors. In the breeding aquariums Taxiphyllum barbieri is a wonderful hiding place for young fishes.
