Dixon1990 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 What do you think it is on these Rocks? Is it a plant/moss we can get here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 where did you get the photo from? i recall seeing that tank before? Perhaps it is one of Amano's- The site you got it from could possibly indicate what it is- i don't have a clue sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Looks like riccia to me, hard to tell with the size of the pic though :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'd agree with Leroy. But keeping it compact that low in the water will require some pretty serious lighting. Not to mention that it would grow pretty fast and require constant trimming, then you get all these itty-bitty bits of it floating around the place... I can send you some it you want, but how you are going to stick it to the rocks is your problem! And when you post a pic that you have hoiked off the internet, you should put the link to the page with it, so that we can see it in context.

Dixon1990 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I got it from a forum that had no info of where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Oliver Knott has some interesting tanks... http://www.pbase.com/plantella/nano_tank and he does some weird things with riccia... http://www.pbase.com/plantella/image/20469003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think I remember reading about that tank. The tall things are basically cylinders of flymesh (the plastic stuff) with the Ricca growing through the holes and bedding in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Don't think it is riccia, more likely a fern like Jave moss. There are some overseas which we don't have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Anyone care to translate?? No need to.Thats the good thing about using Latin to name plants (and fish). Latin is still Latin in anyones language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 It appears that this tank won the ADA International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2005. Entries for this years contest can be downloaded from here: http://www.adana.co.jp/index_e.php Entry is free, but you are 'encouraged' to purchase the book of all the entries that ADA publish after the contest for 2000 yen - approx NZD$25.00. Grand prize will get you around NZD$1,200.00, but there is a catch - you have to go to the prize ceremony in Japan to collect your prize. I see that no one from NZ entered last year!

cesarz Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 They are Fantinalis antipyretica according to the translation it is a kind of fluffy java moss type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Riccardia chamedryfolia is not listed as one of the plants in the tank. http://www.bubblesaquarium.com/NewPlant ... _Popup.htm Fontinalis antipyretica or willow moss has a different structure. http://aquamoss.net/Willow-Moss/Willow-Moss.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
