Mayaca fluviatilis, commonly known as Stream Bogmoss, is a delicate stem plant characterized by its soft, flexible stems and narrow, bright green leaves. Its graceful appearance makes it a popular choice for aquascaping, particularly in creating a light and airy midground or background. The plant is known for its rapid growth and tendency to branch readily, necessitating regular pruning to maintain its shape and prevent it from overshadowing other plants in the aquarium.
