Acclimation:
Temperature Match: Ensure the water in the bag/container your Betta came in is at the same temperature as the tank water.
Float the Bag: Float the sealed bag in the tank for about 15-20 minutes to let the water inside adjust to the tank temperature.
Water Mixing: Gradually add small amounts of tank water to the bag over the next 15-20 minutes to help the Betta adjust to the new water parameters.
Release: Gently net the Betta out of the bag and release it into the tank. Avoid adding the water from the bag into the tank to prevent any diseases from spreading.
PHOTOS: We try best to take nice photo to show best aspect of the fishes but our photo is no edit.

Fissidens nobilis is a delicate, feathery aquatic moss prized for its fine texture and layered growth pattern. Betta Botanicals+2H2O Plants+2
-
It is considered easy to care for, especially for hobbyists who understand plants grow slowly and steadily. Flip Aquatics+1
-
Because of its tidy growth and moderate lighting requirements, it’s especially good for setups like nano tanks, shrimp tanks or botanical/blackwater style aquariums. Betta Botanicals+1
2. Ideal Conditions & Parameters
Here are typical recommended conditions for Fissidens nobilis:
| Parameter | Recommendation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Low to Medium | Many sources say “low-medium”. Flip Aquatics+2Chichi's Planted Dreams+2 |
| CO₂ | Not required, but can help growth | Betta Botanicals+1 |
| Water Temperature | ~20-26 °C (68-78 °F) | One source gives 68-78 °F. Fish Happens |
| pH | ~6.0-8.0 | Acceptable range from various sources. Chichi's Planted Dreams+1 |
| Growth rate | Slow | Repeatedly noted as “slow growing”. MarcusFishTanks+1 |
| Placement | Substrate, rock, wood, or mat | It can be attached to hardscape or used as carpeting. Chichi's Planted Dreams+1 |
Key remarks:
-
It thrives under stable water conditions. Sudden swings are less ideal. H2O Plants+1
-
Nutrient supplementation helps: although it doesn’t demand super high light or CO₂, liquid fertiliser or general good nutrient regime will make it healthier. MarcusFishTanks+1
3. Planting & Installation Tips
-
If you are using it on rock or driftwood: cut or tear the mat into smaller pieces, then attach with thread, fishing line or aquarium-safe glue until it adheres. Over time roots/holdfasts will secure it.
-
If placing on substrate: you can lay it flat as a mat; it will slowly spread outward. Some sources mention it even can be planted directly into substrate. Chichi's Planted Dreams
-
Choose an area with moderate water movement so detritus or film doesn’t accumulate on its fine leaves.
-
Because growth is slow, pick a design spot you’re happy with — once established, it will fill in gradually rather than rapidly altering the layout.
4. Maintenance & Care
-
Perform regular water changes to aid water quality — as with many mosses, clean water = better growth and less algae.
-
Periodically check for biofilm or algae on its fine leaves; if present, gently rinse or trim the affected area.
-
Because growth is slow, do not expect rapid coverage; patience is key. Many hobbyists note letting it “settle in one place” rather than frequently moving it. Planted Tank
-
For best appearance, ensure light is not too strong (to avoid algae) but sufficient for healthy green colour.
-
If you have a shrimp tank: this moss is excellent refuge for shrimplets and provides grazing surfaces.
