Moss Possibilities

[WBAC88]

I have some java moss in my tank, but I'm not a huge fan of its looks. It tends to look a little ragged and messy. I have seen mosses in tanks that I like, though, where it's a little green and, well, mossier. What are some other mosses that I could look into for my tank. I've got a 65g heavily planted low tech. Thanks

Check out flame moss.

Check out flame moss.

That looks fantastic! Do you have any experience with it?

Yah, it won't grow quite as fast as java, but looks great. It attaches fairly quickly too. I have it growing in a high light tank with about 20ppm co2 and daily ferts.

I recently attached a bunch to a home made coconut cave. It's taking its sweet time to fill in but should look really cool once it does.

willow moss and Christmas moss are pretty popular

Thanks rreekers, I'll look into those, too. Not much luck finding any of these on the plant buying sites that I frequent or in the classifieds section here, but I'm going to check aquabids and a couple other places to see if I can find them. Definitely no sign of them at my LFS unfortunately.

The Planted Tank has lots of Mosses.

Look at Fissidens, Erect Moss, Christmas Moss, Mini Xmas Moss, Peacock Moss, Rose Moss, Weeping Moss, etc.

I have had all but last two I think.

If you could, that would be awesome. I haven't gotten into Planted Tank yet, possibly because they don't have such a sweet app I have to go check it out though.

Every time I visit a forum on my phone they advertise, but it never looked like an app that works that well. Is it decent?

Those last two have hilarious names, but I'm sure are really informative.
