supasi Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 They would be Rhizoids. Small brown furry bits that anchor the moss Can see a close up in link below. That is a close up so looks different but Im guessing it the part you meaning. http://go.aquaticplantcentral.com/?id=673X1261&url=http%3A%2F%2Faquamoss.net%2Fimages%2FRhizoids-On-Java-Moss.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 they dont really look like that and are way more red than that, not quite so tiny and a definite bud like thing on the end I got it from hff about 3-4 weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am sure they are Rhizoids. That picture I posted a link to does not really show them well but was the only one I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 If you press the red things against some wood with a stone or cotton thread then you will find out if they are Rhizoids or some kind of rampant Swine Flu that is waiting to take the world be storm - One Aquarist at a time.

N1CK Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I got a better look today at them and compared to the rhizoids in the pics they seem way larger (1 is about a cm long) and with a definite bud like thing on the end......
