*NEW!* Tadpole Moss

Sold Tightly Packed in clear boxes. Each box can be sorted into a MINIMUM of 20+ tad containers!

Specifically processed to be added to tadpole rearing containers. It's lightly heated, rinsed heavily many times to have all substrate completely removed, and compressed under 150+lbs of pressure. We've found it to be an exceptional moss to be used in tad rearing. The heavy rinsing makes it so this moss will NOT cloud water, and the compression helps remove any possible microfauna. Each moss box can be sorted into 20+ tad containers.
For an idea of how much to use - click HERE. That picture shows a fairly conservative amount - a little more won't hurt.
Store moist in a cool place.
