I personally believe it is extremely beneficial in an aquarium.It hosts millions of microscopic edibles. The way I remember this plant's introduction to the hobby is it suddenly just showed up on the market in the late 1980's. I really don't know who discovered it or how they got it to the market. What I do know is that the plant originates in Southeast Asia. The plant is easy to grow but very slow growing. Also about growth: I have Noticed Over The Years That It Grows Faster In Certain Seasons Java Moss is not demanding in the aquarium. It does not require Co2 ejections to grow. In fact it tolerates very dull lighting. Also it does very well in an unheated tank. Here in Michigan I have noticed that if it is left in the window aquarium it dies back a little in late winter, only to revive with great growth in the spring. It is rare to find aquarium plants like Java Moss, in that all I really do is throw it in and let it do it's thing. On top of that, it is very beautiful! Java moss is a real aquatic gardener's friend. This is a striking plant that loves to attach itself to driftwood or rock. It also responds to grooming with a pair of scissors. After it has grown some you can start to trim into a hedge, or lawn, even a lush background. Some aquarists even train it to sit at the top of little carefully placed pieces of driftwood, where it is trimmed and trained to resemble the leaves of trees. You can anchor it in many ways, but the two methods I use most are either glueing it with superglue -or- tying it. To tie it to the medium you want it to grow on, you simply need some string. Place the moss in the desired spot and run string around the full diameter of the piece of rock or driftwood. It takes as long as, although sometimes less than, six months to root. To glue it you just remove the moss from the aquarium and let it dry a little. I put mine in a plastic container with the lid on for about an hour. Then using superglue you glue it to a dry root, or rock. Give it a couple minutes to dry and it is ready to set in the aquarium.
