How much is shipping for the java moss and is it snails free? If it's under 20 dollars ill go ahead and order some hopefully is If I have enough in my paypal. Do they need any fertilizer if so will florapride work?

[blackomen]

Shipping is $10. I don't use any fert and it grows nicely.

[MarkA123]

Ok sounds good how much would you suggest I order for a 28g. I've heard it covers your tank within a week or so you don't need much. Also is it snail free? I have $20 dollars in my paypal I can spend on plants.

I have trumpet snails in the tank, so there are chances. Are you just looking for enough to cover the bottom?

[MarkA123]

Yes i thought thats all you could do with them was cover the floor, what else can you do with them? My tank dimensions are 24/ 15/21 And is there any way to remove the snails from the plant I really don't want any mts. And I don't want to kill my apples and mysterys. Is there some kid of instant soak that'll make them run off the plant or kill them without killing my snails I know they can be good but I just don't want any. Thanks again.

Thanks what kind of lights do you use/suggest?

[blackomen]

On my 10 gallon I have two compact florescent twisty bulbs, 26 watts. On my 29 gallon I have two t5 ho bulbs, I think it's 54 watts each so 108 watts. I don't know if you need that much for just java moss, but it grows like crazy with it.

I believe if you soak it in bleach for a few minutes it'll take care of the snails. Just make sure you rinse it with water w/ declor before you put it in your tank.

[jeremyblevins]

I would use hydrogen peroxide instead of the bleach much safer

[MarkA123]

Ok when after soaking the plant how do I get the snail killing liquid of so It won't kill my snails? Also would that hornwort do good and how much java moss do I need?

You can just rinse the plants with dechlorinated water and it will be good to go into your tank. What kind of lights do you have? The hornwort is out growing the java moss in my tanks. As for the java moss, just depends on how much you want.

[MarkA123]

Ok so I should soak the plant in bleach than rinse in in declorinated tap water? I have full daylight spectrum 15w fluorescent strip light. Would Hornwort or java moss grow better in my aquarium, I plan to use florapride fert and I have shallow sand bed, driftwood and 4 large stones.

Either should be fine, and you could either let them float or tie them to your drift wood with fishing line.

[MarkA123]

Ok thanks, are there any differences in them? Like do bottom feeders like one better than the other or bettas or snails like one better? Is one easier or more suaitable for my tank? Thanks I'm looking to provide cover because I don't have very much so which would provide more cover? I have corys bettas and snails if that matters.

The java moss will sit on the bottom of your tank if untethered and the hornwort will float on the top if untethered.

[MarkA123]

Ok thanks, then I don't want hornwort.

dont bleach kill live plants?

n plus snails not that bad, snails is what keep ur live plant heathly btw ...
snails also keep ur live plant nice green looking. trust me, soon u will be like **** it, i should of have keep all the snails.

[MarkA123]

Thanks, I have apple and mystery snails already, I just don't want any asexual snails, they can multiply too fast for me to eliminate, and I know you can reduce their number by not overfeeding and manually removing etc, I just don't want to deal with then. All I planned on keeping was java fern and moss, and I plan to get more mystery and or apple snails, I just don't want any small snails especially asexual snails right now, and our local Petco will gladly give them to us for free.
