How to Grow and Care for Brook moss

Brook moss thrives in cool, clean freshwater environments, making it ideal for aquarium settings. Ensuring adequate water flow and moderate light levels are essential for its health. A special care point is maintaining water temperatures between 59°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C) to prevent degradation. Regularly check for debris buildup as brook moss can accumulate dirt, impacting its overall growth and clarity.
