Description

Bring Your Aquarium to Life! Aquatic plants add color, movement, and natural beauty to any aquarium. Whether you love a clean, minimalist aquascape or a lush underwater jungle, choosing plants that match your setup makes it easy to create a thriving aquarium that’s uniquely yours. Live plants absorb excess nutrients like nitrates and ammonia, helping to maintain clean, balanced water. Through photosynthesis, plants boost oxygen in the water, benefiting fish and beneficial bacteria alike. By consuming the nutrients algae thrive on, plants naturally help keep algae growth in check. Live plants provide natural shelter, hiding spots, and breeding areas, making fish feel safer and less stressed.4o At Swimming Creatures, we offer a vibrant selection of aquatic plants for every aquarist — from easy, beginner-friendly favorites to unique varieties for experienced aquascapers. Each plant is carefully selected, prepared, and packed to arrive fresh, healthy, and ready to grow. From our nursery to your aquarium, plant health comes first. Fresh plants. Thoughtful packaging. A beautiful aquarium starts here. Give your plants the best start by properly preparing and planting them. This helps remove potential pests and ensures a healthy transition into your tank. Step 1: Disinfect Before Planting 🫧 Hydrogen Peroxide Dip 🫧 Baking Soda Dip (Optional) Our stem plants arrive as fresh, healthy cuttings ready to plant and grow! Because stem plants are commonly propagated from cuttings, some may arrive without established roots — and that’s completely normal. Once planted in a healthy aquarium environment, they’ll begin developing new roots and fresh growth as they settle in. • Gently plant stems into the substrate, leaving space between each stem • Provide consistent lighting and stable water conditions • Fertilizer and CO₂ can encourage faster, fuller growth • A little melting or leaf loss after shipping can happen while plants adjust — new growth is what to look for! Q: How soon will my plants root? A: Many stem plants can begin developing roots within 5–10 days under good conditions. Growth speed varies by species, lighting, nutrients, and water conditions. Q: Can I keep plants in a bare-bottom tank? A: Absolutely! Plants such as Anubias and Java Fern can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or décor instead of being planted in substrate. Stem plants, however, generally do best when planted. Q: What substrate works best? A: Nutrient-rich planted-tank substrates are a great choice, but gravel or sand can work too! Root tabs and liquid fertilizer can provide extra nutrients when needed. PLANT • SETTLE • ROOT • GROW Give your new plants a little time to adjust, and soon you’ll be enjoying fresh new growth in your aquarium. Every plant is carefully prepared to arrive fresh, vibrant, and ready to thrive! If anything isn’t quite right, just follow the simple steps included in your package — our friendly care team is always here to help and make it right! Beautiful, healthy creatures delivered alive to your door. Beautiful, healthy fish, shrimp, snails, and plants carefully selected and shipped alive to your door. We use customized, high-density styrofoam boxes with ice or heat packs as needed, carefully chosen for each region’s weather to protect your animals during transit. Because we work directly with trusted farms, cutting out middlemen to give you better prices without sacrificing quality. We stand by our promise. If there’s any DOA, simply text photos to 714‑253‑7174 and we’ll take care of you. Who was the creator of the magnificent aquatic beings? Genesis 1:20–21 It all began when our son loved catching little fish from the local park, and that simple curiosity grew into our family’s passion for sharing beautiful aquatic life with others. That’s how Swimming Creatures was born.

  • Beautiful Java Moss
Color: Java Moss (25sq inch Portion)
Edit: It's been a couple months since I strapped the Java moss to the branches. At first I was a little concerned as some of it turned brown ... but the green parts took over. Now it's growing like crazy. In fact, I think I'm going to have to prune it to keep it under control. This stuff is great and my tank critters LOVE it! This Java moss arrived in great condition, healthy and mostly green with some brown pieces, and still moist. Well packaged. When I put the moss in a dish of water to rehydrate, it sank right to the bottom ... didn't float at all. I got some fishing line and tied clumps of it to the driftwood (the moss isn't a solid piece, like a moss ball, but rather loose bits of moss like peat), and put the driftwood back into my aquarium. It stayed intact and nothing floated off. Everyone loves it, especially me and the amano shrimp (shrimp go crazy over this stuff), and it really adds a decorative look that I like very much. In time, it will attach itself to the driftwood and continue to grow. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would buy again. ... show more

  • Decent amount. Looked good even after sitting in the package for a week
Color: Java Moss (25sq inch Portion)
I felt like the amount of java moss sent was decent. I wasn't able to put the moss in right away. It sat for at least a week in the bag it was shipped in before I could get it placed in my tank, and yet the moss still seemed to be fine. Its been a couple of weeks and the moss is looking great in my tank. I'd purchase again. ... show more

  • Not my best idea
Color: Java Moss (25sq inch Portion)
I usually don’t put live plants in my tank. But I read Oscar’s have this in their natural habitat. I had to tie it down to a rock. It’s not clumped solid together. Once you put it in water it floats and separates. I tied it down to a rock. I do have a wave make, so there is some movement in my tank. This stuff was pretty good for about two weeks. It never adhered itself to the rock. It just started to come apart in small pieces. Would float or head to the fan of the wave maker. I would say probably 3 weeks later it made its way into my filter. It clogged it so bad my pump stopped taking in water and I had to pull the whole thing apart. My Oscars didn’t bother with it. So it wasn’t their fault. I know they like to move stuff, but this wasn’t anything of interest to them. It’s just thin grass that comes apart. You would need a net to keep it confined. Not really purposeful. Just messy. ... show more

  • A fair value
Color: Java Moss (25sq inch Portion)
It was nice, it came in a bag that was flat maybe 1/8th ot 1/4th inch thick and about 5 inches square. I bathed it in 1/3 3% peroxide and 2/3rd water for 60 seconds rinsed it in tap water, placed it in a separate container with my tank water in let it sit for an hour or two, then placed it in my tank. I put it in the tank maybe 12 hours ago I can already see some bright green new growth on it. Seems like a very solid product. ... show more

  • It made it!
Color: Java Moss (25sq inch Portion)
So bought this moss about 2 months ago... yes it did come mostly brown, probably because of the shock of many days without light. I still glue it to my driftwood and fertilize it. It slowly recovered but in the beginning were moments I thought it was not going to make it. Pretty much it all died and came back. Now a couple of months later is doing awesome and my shrimp love it. Now is 3 times its size. I'll recommend it is a big amount at a good price, but it requires special care, to grow healthy and to adapt to your tank. ... show more

  • Great moss
Color: Java Moss (25sq inch Portion)
I’m so happy with this moss— it’s such a great addition to the aquarium I’m setting up. It makes it look more natural, and I think it’ll make the ecosystem much better for the creatures I end up getting. It’s pretty too :)
