Is this Java or weeping moss? When I first bought it, the label was Java Moss but now it kept drooping when thicken in growth.

If it is indeed weeping moss passed off as Java moss from LFS, I am overjoyed.

Nice

It is my priviledge to receive a thumb up from a professional aquascaper like you. I am deeply motivated now.

Thanks, the color of dragon rocks matches the sand gravel which explains the choice. The green aglae makes them look quite natural too..

Thanks for sharing. Nice scape.
Very clear with just one Eden 501 filter.
A bald bottom tank. Good for feeding and easy to clean I think. I like it.

Thanks for your compliment. It is a matured tank (9 months) and the river was originally much wider but the tiny cherry shrimps love to deposit sand gravel to cover up the river (for their own easy walk?). During WC, I will draw out the gravel and place them back on land, eventually such constant shrimps' behaviour shifted the rocks inwards and narrowing the "river"..

As the saying goes, ants can move mountain and I draw lesson from the shrimps too

love the growth of your weeping moss

Thanks. Unlike Java moss, I don't remember I need to trim weeping moss. First time seeing them developed in such measure that it has earned an important place in my heart for future scaping ...hahaha.
