Description
Each portion: 5x5cm flat
Süsswassertang Liverwort (Lomariopsis cf. lineata) is an uncommon fern gametophyte that, until a few years ago, was considered to be a liverwort or moss. The German terms “Süsswassertang” and “Sübwassertang” translate to “freshwater seaweed”.
This is a great plant to keep in any freshwater aquarium due to its low lighting requirements. It is a slow-growing plant that is capable of living in somewhat cold water tanks as well as tropical tanks. It grows into bushy patches that are always a favorite hiding place for small fish and invertebrates.

I added this liverwort to my freshwater tank and it has been thriving even with low light. The plant spreads slowly and forms nice bushy patches that fish use for hiding. Easy to maintain and looks natural in the tank.
John Baker –
Grew well in my cold water tank. It didn’t need much light and stayed healthy over several months. The texture is soft and adds a natural look to the aquarium.

Perfect for beginners. I didn’t have to adjust lighting or water temperature. The plant grows slowly, which I appreciate for a stable setup. Looks great with my small community fish.
