It comes from South-East Asia and is happy in almost any water and light. It has no true roots: instead it grips onto wood, rock or filter parts with tiny holdfasts, so it is never planted into gravel. Tie or wedge a thin layer against hardscape and within a few weeks it holds on by itself and starts to spread into a soft, irregular tangle 3–10 cm deep. Growth is medium paced, faster than the fancier mosses, and it copes with dim corners where nothing else grows. In a breeding tank it does two jobs at once. The tangle gives newly hatched shrimp and fish fry somewhere to hide, and it collects biofilm, the thin living film of bacteria and microscopic algae that shrimp graze on all day.

It is a South American moss and grows more slowly than Java Moss, and it is a touch more demanding: it looks its best under medium light with a little water movement, and it stays neater and denser. Because the fronds pack tightly it makes better cover for baby shrimp than a loose moss, and the dense mat holds more biofilm, the film of microbes that shrimp graze. Like all mosses it has no roots. Attach it to hardscape rather than pushing it into gravel; it takes everything it needs from the water. Starting height is 1–3 cm and an established mat sits around 3–5 cm.

Its bright green, teardrop-shaped shoots droop from whatever they are attached to, so a strip tied along the top of a branch or over the edge of a rock forms a trailing curtain within a couple of months. It is believed to come from China and reached the hobby through Asian nurseries. Fronds sit around 1–3 cm on arrival and 3–5 cm once settled. Like the other mosses it has no roots and is never buried; it takes its nutrients from the water and simply needs something to hang from. Growth is medium paced, a little slower than Java Moss, and it is tidier. The hanging growth gives shrimp a sheltered surface to pick over, and the fine fronds hold biofilm, the microbial film shrimp graze. Thin it when it thickens: once the outer layer shades the inside, the buried growth browns off, so a regular trim keeps the whole curtain green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"sz-acc__row\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"radio\" name=\"sz-acc-weeping-moss\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sz-acc__panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e adaptable to ordinary tropical tank conditions; a little flow keeps the fronds clean.

It comes from streams in Cameroon, grows slowly to 5–15 cm and asks for little light and no added CO2. Its thick, dark green leaves are tough enough that most plant-eating fish leave them alone, and each leaf lives for years. That long life has one side effect: slow-growing algae can settle on old leaves, so it does best in a shaded spot rather than under strong light. One rule matters more than any other. The rhizome, the thick horizontal stem the leaves and roots grow from, must sit above the substrate. Buried, it rots and the plant dies. Tie or glue it to wood or rock instead, and the roots will find their own way down.

It stays under 5 cm tall with leaves only a centimetre or two across, so it fits on small pieces of rock and in the foreground of a nano tank where full-size Nana would look coarse. Its rhizome, the thick creeping stem the leaves grow from, reaches 5–10 cm and branches readily, so a single piece slowly builds into a dense clump. Care is the same as any Anubias: low light, no added CO2, very slow growth of perhaps a leaf every few weeks, and the rhizome must never be buried or it rots.

It is a true fern from South-East Asia with long, leathery green fronds, and it grows slowly in low light without added CO2 or special substrate. It adapts to soft acidic water and to hard alkaline water alike. Its rhizome, the dark horizontal stem the leaves and roots grow from, must not be buried; covered, it rots. Tie or glue it to wood or rock and the roots will grip on by themselves. Very bright light can scorch or melt the fronds, and because it grows slowly, algae can settle on old leaves under strong lighting, so a shaded spot works well. Small plantlets appear along the edges and tips of older leaves, and a stressed plant may make dozens on a single leaf; they drop off and float until they catch somewhere, or you can pinch them off and tie them where you want them. The tough fronds are ignored by most plant-eating fish and give shrimp a broad surface to graze biofilm, the microbial film they feed on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"sz-acc__row\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"radio\" name=\"sz-acc-java-fern\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sz-acc__panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e tolerant of a wide range of hardness and pH and ordinary tropical temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e attach the rhizome to wood or rock with cotton thread or aquarium-safe cyanoacrylate gel glue, or wedge it into a gap.

It comes from the Rio Cristalino in Mato Grosso, southern Brazil, and is related to Hygrophila but grows slower and stays compact, with small green leaves on stiff brownish stems. Once established it sends out horizontal creeping shoots from the base, and each shoot forms a new plant, so a few pieces slowly build into a dense low hedge for the foreground or midground. It branches sideways when the tips are trimmed, so regular cutting makes it denser. Tropica recommends medium to high light and CO2 for the best result, but it grows in moderate light without added CO2, just more slowly.

It is probably the most widely kept sword plant in the hobby and is thought to come from the Amazon region. Its long, broad, pointed leaves are bright to dark green, and a mature plant can exceed 50 cm in both height and width, so it needs space and shades whatever sits behind it. It grows fast for such a big plant in low to medium light without added CO2. Unlike mosses and ferns it feeds mostly through its roots, so it does best in a nutrient-rich substrate or with root tabs, fertiliser capsules pushed into the substrate beside the plant. Nursery plants are grown with leaves in air and often melt back after planting; leave the roots, feed them, and new underwater leaves grow from the crown. It propagates by sending up a long runner with plantlets along it, which can be cut off and planted. The big leaves carry a lot of biofilm, the microbial film shrimp graze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"sz-acc__row\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"radio\" name=\"sz-acc-amazon-sword\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sz-acc__panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowgrow lists 18–30 °C with 22–26 °C ideal; it tolerates a wide range of hardness and pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e plant the roots deep with the crown, where the leaves meet the roots, just at the surface.
