Java Moss

[Rxblade123]

I went to the LFS to look around for some plants and since they didn't have any java moss in the the selling tanks, I asked them if they could trim off some from their show tank, they said they could and gave me quite a big piece for only 3.99. Problem now is that I don't know where to put it in my 10 gallon, I have a piece of driftwood, but I put my lil java ferns on it. Should I take off the java ferns and put the moss on or just leave the moss floating? Or if you have any other suggestions, it would be appreciated.

I put mine in the foreground and used a few rocks from the substrate to weigh it down. Within a few weeks it attached to the substrate. As it has grown I have repeated the process... pushing the new growth closer to the back of the tank. At this point I've got a nice Java moss carpet over most of the bottom of my (10 gallon) tank.

or you could let the fern get attached to the gravel and tie the moss to the driftwood.

Hmm. I like the idea of a Java moss carpet, I'll try that first. Thanks
