forget to add that, temperature for all 3 points are 25 - 27C.
hi guys. anyone noticed that US fissiden tend to grow faster when lighting is low and no or less co2?
take my this few set up as examples.
all my us fissiden are from the same sorce(same LFS)
1.
Lighting : 4.5wpg (72watt PL on a 17 - 18 gallon tank)
us fissiden attatched to SS mesh. and using suction cap to stick to back wall.
co2 : 3bps via Ceramic diffusor
weeks/days for usfissiden to start growing out new fronds : exactly 2weeks
2. rescape tank and tuned down lighting and co2
lighting 2.2wpg (36watt PL)
US fissiden attatched to SS mesh. and using suction cap to stick to back wall.
co2 : 0.5bps via ceramic diffusor
weeks/days for usfissiden to start growing out new fronds: exactly 1week
3.not an rescape. but took out co2
all same as point 2. but on first day when i stoped co2. i introduced us fissiden on mesh same using suction cap to stick to back wall.
same place where i put(as previously i sold the us fissiden away)
and guess what? just 3days im starting to see new light green fronds growing out..
anyone encouter this also?
forget to add that, temperature for all 3 points are 25 - 27C.
Interesting, of course good news for me who dosen't always remember to use CO2 .
I've had the same experience. I tried to take a picture of my F. fontanus, which has been growing beautifully with very little light and no CO2 for the past several months. Unfortunately, it turned out terribly, but suffice it to say that I agree with your observation.

it might work but long term wise with co2 will be better..
one thing is US fissiden will grow well once it get use to the water. newly introduce US fissiden will grow slower. Once it gets used to the environment, it grows faster.

Yes Alan is right. And try not to shift the fissiden around too much, leave it in the same spot and once you see new growth, after about 2-3 weeks it will begin to grow faster and faster.
Lower light does not make it grow faster for my case.
How about changing water? Can I also put some fertilizer?
Tried US Fissidens it for a few times with 2.6 W/Gallon light, CO2 2bps & temp 26-28 degree celsius but couldn't make it, any advise?
I was wondering if anyone has any experience in US fissiden growing beyond it's mesh or driftwood? Cause it feels to me like you are covering a lawn with astroturf if the plant never truly takes root in the substrate? Is it possible to get it to take root?
not actually take root, they have no roots. but they will so call cling themselves onto anything. i got a bunch growing very well on a piece of ADA soil. haha. all started from a fond.

Hah hah wah, like that I must also strive to achieve that same effect. Thanks for the answer eviltrain.
I think for most mosses.. don't really require the need to have CO2. Doing regular water changes will help.. Think no need to dose those CO2 pills as well.
Hi Seniors
I tried a few attempts at US fissiden but failed, it just started to grow hairy and i just don't understand why.
Was told it's some form of algae attack. No matter how i trimmed it, it just start to grow back.
Parameters as follows;
Lighting: 2.1WPG
CO2: 1BPS
Temperature: 29 - 30 degrees
PH: 6.5
I have invested in a chiller and will be attempting to grow US fissiden again, water parameters will be readjusted.
Lighting: 1.1WPG
CO2: 1BPS
Temperature: 27 degrees
PH: 6.8
Appreciate if Seniors around could provide me with some advice.
Thanks
huh?i tot US fissidens require more lights n CO2????
That's what i thought as well! but then.. surprising, I manage to grow US fissidens well under a low tech tank..
does us fissiden requires good water and lots of light?
good to hear that us fissiden doesnt need any co2 to grow, was thinking of just keep moss in my tank. now i got another plant to put into my tank .. thanks..
Its a fishy world out there... huat ar...
nice to hear that, i think can consider a new member for the tank soon
sorry for ot, but where can i purchase us fissiden at? i went to c328 but the uncle said theres no stock...
