Had started a nano shrimp tank with some X'mass moss and java fern for about 1.5 week. As the tank is placed in my room. At night , where I usually switched on the air-con, the temp will drop to 23.5C. But the temp will rise during the day, the temp will rise up to around 28C even with a PC fan blowing 24/7. So far, the x'mass moss seems to have grown a bit. It seems to have become greener and somewhat bushier along each 'branch'. Will continue to observe how the growth will turn out to be in this 50% low temp, 50% high temp condition.
I usually close my door after I off my air-con. I find that the air is cooler after i return from work compare to leaving the door open.
I have no chillers so my tank temp hovers arpund 26 to 28 deg C throughout the day. Better not get any of those moss then.They will survive but will be better if the temp is lower. 23-25 degree C will be good. Java moss will grow faster then the rest. Easiest to grow among all.

26 to 28 C is good enough for both Taiwan and Christmas moss.
More important is to ensure you have low bioload .
My tank temp ard 28c, my xmas & taiwan moss growing like mad. But the problem is, the xmas moss does not grow to triangle shape as what I have bought from the lfs...sigh!
dun worry... 26 to 28 is okay. i grew my erect and taiwan in tanks with and without chiller. in the tank without chiller (temp avg 28 degC) erect moss's triangular frond may not be uniform but taiwan no diff to those in tank with chiller at 25 degC.
give it a try, they shld turn out fine.
I see. I just wanted to replace my Java Moss with other mosses as they grow quite messy in my tanks and they need frequent trimming. Think I will give Taiwan moss a try 1st and see what happens.

maybe you can replace some of the java moss to other mosses and see how...I am currently trying out a few type of mosses in different tank setup...so far grow is slow but at least it is not dying
hi,i staying in the north area,
wanna check out where can i get the mosses u guys saying, i.e taiwan moss.
cos most LFS i been to does not sell mosses.
the last time i saw was at THAT's Aquarium in Yishun, offering $5 for a small packet of mosses.
Fast growers, in descending order
Fast - Java, Taiwan, weeping, erect, xmas moss

Petmart is selling xmas moss, java moss & taiwan moss @ $6 a small packet. After looking at those different packets, i still can't tell the diff
Newbie in Aquatic Tank Setup....
You have to look carefully at each individual piece to differentiate. else it'd all b a big green blob, heh. Best way is to look at tanks with these mosses to see how differently they look when they grow out.
yes they do look like big green blobs......... ;p
Newbie in Aquatic Tank Setup....
then just buy the cheapest one haha
might want to try Dennerle Gold 7.
Some brothers said Dennerle Gold 7 can help boost the growth rate.
then just buy the cheapest one haha
all of them are the SAME price......... i wonder if there're any farms that charges cheaper than fishshops.
Newbie in Aquatic Tank Setup....
Cannot be la.. if same price then quantity shld be different
buy off the forums, cheaper/comparable than any farm/shop
