Why choose Flame Moss - Thin Form?

Flame Moss - Thin Form is ideal for softening hardscape and creating a mature, natural appearance. Its fine growth can be attached to wood, rock or mesh and shaped as the aquarium develops.

As a live plant, every specimen is naturally different. Leaf count, colour, size and growth form may vary from photos and may change as the plant adapts to submerged aquarium conditions.

Benefits

  • Provides shelter for shrimp and fish fry
  • Creates a natural grazing surface for biofilm
  • Can be attached to wood, rock or mesh
  • Adds fine texture to nano aquascapes
  • Suitable for low-tech planted aquariums
  • Can be trimmed and shaped over time

NTA Insight:
Spread moss in a thin layer rather than attaching it as a thick ball. Thin attachment encourages cleaner, more even growth and reduces trapped debris.

This plant is sourced through Port Aquatics and inspected by Nano Tanks Australia before sale. Live plants are natural products, so size, leaf count, colour and growth form will vary. We select healthy stock with the best chance of establishing successfully under suitable aquarium conditions.

Live Plant Shipping Information

🌿 Live Plant Notice

Live plants are dispatched according to weather, destination and NTA's live-product shipping schedule. Plant size, leaf count, colour and growth form naturally vary.

  • βœ… Shipping: Available when weather and destination conditions are suitable.
  • βœ… Local Pickup: Available by appointment when the product is in stock.
  • βœ… Inspection: Inspect and rinse all live plants before adding them to an established aquarium.

Some plants may temporarily lose older leaves while adapting from farm conditions to your aquarium. Healthy roots or rhizomes can produce new submerged growth after acclimation.

FAQ

Does this moss require COβ‚‚?

No. COβ‚‚ is optional, although it may produce denser and faster growth when lighting and nutrients are balanced.

How should I attach it?

Use a small amount of aquarium-safe glue, cotton thread or fine mesh. Avoid attaching it in thick clumps.

Is it suitable for shrimp?

Yes. Moss offers cover and creates a large surface area for biofilm and microorganisms.

Why is debris collecting inside it?

Dense moss can trap food and detritus. Use gentle flow, careful siphoning and regular trimming.

Can different mosses or Riccia be mixed in?

Small fragments can occasionally travel with farm-grown moss. Inspect and rinse the portion carefully before adding it to a display aquarium.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Why do livestock prices sometimes change?

    Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.

    Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.

    We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
