gerald, u got more info of this plant, like family etc? Bought it from ah pek?

[gchoo]

Made a mistake... should be fissidens sp instead of homalia sp... Hence it should be part of the Fissidentaceae family...

No, didnt get it from Ah Pek...someone overseas passed it to me some months ago...

Saw a huge pail of it at ah pek last week.

Is it supposed to be planted in the gravel or tied to something?

Oooo My initial assessment is that its a slow growing plant... Slower than the normal x-moss...

I think you may have to tie it on something since it seems to be rootless... Whatever is buried under the sand will rot and it will eventually float up...

Just came back from AhPek, yes... also noticed that he has similar looking emmersed species growing everywhere...

Hi gchoo!

Your Fissiden sp looks like the ones I plucked from the grass patch under my block of flats. Teo has it inside one of his tank as well. When I asked them what plant was that, they answered me it was a land weed. I understand there is another Fissidens sp termed "feng wei" moss (phoenix). I heard from Gan that subzero has it in his tank. These are 2 different species, right?

Cheers!

Phoenix moss as what the Taiwanese folks call it is supposedly known as fissidens nobilis. I dunno what subzero has so cannot comment...
