Jennifer Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yeah, I have rotala, anubias, wendtii, sag. subulata and java moss but I like that red grass and that short clumpy moss.... :roll: Is that ordianry java moss/xmas moss? It must be attached to something and pruned a lot if it is....I hate pruning java moss like that - what a mess... and what is that red grass?

supasi Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Looks like small stones covered in Xmas moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I say its peacock moss. im almost certain of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 So if it is xmas moss on rocks, do you just tie it on and prune it a lot? If it is peacock moss, can we get that here and does it have similar requirements to java moss? No ideas on the red grass? Cheers guys.

Zev Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The foreground moss is named as Vesicularia sp 'mini'? The grass on the left is named as Blyxa Aubertii info from: http://www.blueaquarium.org/2007/12/aga ... -roy-deki/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 No , only true submersed available mosses we get here are xmas and java. the moss on the bottom looks like xmas :-? , moss on branches looks like weeping blyxa also only goes red under high light, good nutrients and lots of CO2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
