Freshwater seaweed (Lomariopsis lineata) – decorative green plant for aquariums & shrimp tanks
Freshwater seaweed (Lomariopsis lineata) is an exceptional and extremely popular aquarium plant with dense, bushy growth and an intense green color. Despite its name, it is neither an alga nor a true moss, but rather the gametophyte of a fern, which gives it its characteristic, slightly lobed leaf structure.
Due to its slow to moderate growth and high adaptability, freshwater seaweed is ideal for nano aquariums, shrimp tanks and natural aquascapes.
