    java moss is pretty much indestructible
    i've seen it grow in tanks with hardly and fertiliser, light or co2
    taiwan moss i'm pretty sure is harder to grow
    because those i got died off

    as for pricing, i'd go with nature aq.

    Simon, from my experience u need to lower the temp to at least 26C for moss(java/x'mas) to grow well.

    Try Chan at Nature. Christmas Moss 1 bunch $5. If you friend friend with him, he will pull out one whole bunch of Java moss in one of his front display tank for $5 also.

    It's true that the moss is acclimatised at our temp.
    But it is not true that it can just grow at temp 30 - 31 C.
    Previously I got the moss from Chan, try to grow at ~ 30C but fail until I bought an AC fan which drop the temp to 28C.
    And now it is growing.
    Low temp is the key to success.

    hihi
    simon, is chan growing it at 31 degrees?
    if he is, then it solves all the doubt, doesn't it?

    I paid $5 for the java moss at Teo, a big bundle... .

    Moss doesn't require low temp to grow...it can grow at 30, but it will grow better with lower temp.

    Is Christmas moss a fast growing plant ? Do they need plenty of iron supplement or fertilizer?

    Pet Safari Chrismas moss is light green in colour and looks healthy,is there a secret ?

    Yes, Pet Safari's secret is the low temperature. If I remember correctly, the temperature is at 23.
