Toirtis Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Well trimmed java/christmas moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Java moss is different from Christmas moss, right? If so, have you seen Christmas moss in Calgary? I have a clump of java moss but it seems thinner than that. Also, I tied it to a piece of drift wood and it never took. Now it's just a big ball at the end of an intake tube.

FishBrain Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Sounds like you need to tie it a little tighter next time I agree with Toirtis, Java moss. try streching it out along the wood and wraping the string around...kind of like decorating a X-mas tree. if you understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think it's Christmas moss - or perhaps another similar species. Christmas moss <i>is<i/> different than Java moss. I first learned about the different mosses on the Aquatic Plants Digest (google it - lots of great plant advice). Most ppl on the APD are from the States, but you may be able to find a Canadian or two there who might have some. As for Java moss, my experience is like Canadbis. Stretch it out a little more - give it as much surface areas as possilbe to attach to the wood. If you can leave it be for a while, it'll eventually attach, and grow attached. HTH.
