The bryophyte is Fissidens fontanus, a plant that came from Tony aka Gomer who lives in the United States. According to the professor, the F. fontanus can be found in most parts of North America.
What moss is that????Originally Posted by timebomb
Sure, Andrew. Your wish is my command
Bioplast has many display tanks, some of which are "one plant tanks". In other words, there's only one species of aquarium plant in the tank. Usually, it's hard to create a nice aquascape with only one species of plant but Bioplast does it quite well with the various bryophytes. Here's an example:
Close-up:
Doesn't it look like a single tree growing on a field of grassland. The Crystal Red Shrimps are like cows grazing on the field.

could you see if the prof. has a picture of the moss emersed? i might have to go hunting for it, but winter is fast aproaching so i only will have a few months. On the other hand a person my age in Canada reported finding some fissidens emersed and was trying to submerge them. He made a topic on TPT will look for the link for you.
Thanks for those pictures, I have seen tanks like this and they look amazing especially with those red cows tending to the fieldi hope to someday create a display tank like this with a fissidens, hopefully a local one to make more of an impact!
As I'm always begging, more pics please? Living in the USA has some disatvantages, especially not being able to go moss shopping with you guys over in Japan!

Actually these fish shops are in Singapore, but I'm sure Japan is another great destination to go shopping, and also don't forget Denmark.Living in the USA has some disatvantages, especially not being able to go moss shopping with you guys over in Japan
Denmark isn't a place to shop moss. We have very few species here unfortunately..

though I do collect, covet and hoard mosses.
And I'm trying to convince Tropica to start producing more mosses. Especially Fissidens

Andrew,
I don't think the professor has any pictures of the Fissidens fontanus. The moss came from Gomer who said it sprang up from a piece of driftwood he collected from a pond in Louisana.
As for more pictures, I'll see if I can get some more over the weekend. I have to pay Bioplast a visit before I can take new ones.

The Bioplast fissidens tank pic is great...but with all background blacked out to hide equipement, would be fantastic!
Kwek Leong, Ok to blackout background equipment using Photoshop for my personal use and to post here?

Sure, Dave. Feel free to do what you like with the pictures. As long as you don't remove the "www.killies.com" stamp, I'm okay with whatever you want to do with the pics.

Oh I see, Well I have relatives in Mississippi and we are going to visit them in November for "Thanksgiving" We are flying into Louisiana. So maybe, just probablyI will ship home a box of moss collected there!
