🐠 Breeding in the moss 😱 Purpose: Moss (like Java moss) is often used in breeding tanks. It gives a natural surface where angelfish can lay eggs and provides hiding spaces for baby fish (fry). Egg Safety: Sometimes parents may eat the eggs. Moss helps protect fry once they hatch, because the tiny ones can hide inside. Water Quality: Moss also helps keep the water clean by absorbing waste and releasing oxygen. Extra Food: Tiny microorganisms live in moss, which serve as natural food for fry. 👉
