Hi K L,
thank you for this new report! It is nice to see the IDs of the mosses I collected. Satu, who is a young woman, got moss number 2 and number 4 from me last year. I found them in ponds here in Mecklenburg-Westpommerania (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), north-east Germany. Both can be kept in tropical tanks but it is hard to convert the wild plants to the hot conditions of a tropical normal tank. The Fontinalis antipyretica var. gigantea grows very slowly and becomes quite small. In the wild it fills a whole 0.1ha big pond. On my windows sill it hardly survives and in my tanks it dies sooner or later. The Amblystegium serpens grows much better and can grow quite fast. It is very hardy and it is really hard to get rid of it again.
best regards
Robert
