Bring a soft, natural touch to your aquarium or pond with Azolla, also known as Fairy Moss — a small, floating fern that forms a dense, velvety carpet of tiny leaves. Its colors shift from bright green to reddish bronze under higher light, adding a magical accent to any shrimp, betta, or nano tank.

Azolla floats freely on the surface, helping reduce algae growth by shading the water and absorbing excess nutrients. It’s perfect for natural-style aquascapes, breeding tanks, or paludariums, and offers gentle cover for shrimp, fry, and small fish.
