Taiwan or Xmas moss will do.

[ongsl80]

welcome bro Ian, all the best to taiwan

[Ian Lim]

Taiwan or Xmas moss will do.

tks, have decided to get taiwan moss, my bio load is pretty high with 60 cardinal, 10 rummy nose, 5 yamatoes and 2 cory in a 3 ft tank, will it create problem to the growth of the moss?

from experience, dont prefer yamato in unestablished moss.
their pickings will cause damage to new moss setup.
just my 5cent opinion.
taiwan or christmas moss is fine for wall

Sunday

you could try the thick variant of xmas moss..the triangular fronds look nice..

[andrewtyr]

I still prefer xmas for the wild look. It's fonts are smaller too

[janazr]

X'mas moss grows very nice especially
with water temp around 25C.

i am thinking of doing that

do you guys tied the moss strand horizontally and vertically on the mesh? does it make any difference? tia

[janazr]

It depends on the size of your tank and layout.

Does the directions make a difference??

[andrewtyr]

Nope, tying the moss in any direction. Doesn make any difference. Just make sure the moss is secured but not too tight, as this will kill it.

[yokogi]

Thank you! I foresee many fun just tying those strings of moss =b

[mercurial]

Make sure the moss are spread out thinly over the whole mesh when you tie it. As in dont put layers. Alot of old threads here will help.
