1. How do I tie down a 'handful' of hairy moses... don't know whatz the name though. They are quite long one... for my shrimps.
2. How do I learn about names of plants and mosses? Any website to recommend that comes with pic and names?
3. If I decide to uproot my plants and settingswith my fishes and shrimps still inside and then do a re-landscaping immediately, can or not? Wonder if there'll be any casualty? Anyone exprienced this?
Thank you so much!

1) Use fishing line, or cotton thread, just wind it around and tighten with a knot. It's easier with fishing line.
2) Tropica is a good site. In time, the scientific names, common names and looks of the plant will become second nature to you.
3) Yes sure you can, depending on how sensitive your fish are. If they're expensive fish, I'd take them out first in a bucket of tank water.

Try this site, recommended by brianclaw. Seems like a good site for moss identification...

thanks lots!
okie... this may sound silly... but when u say wind it round and tie with a knot, do u mean to tie it down with a driftwood etc or just moss-around-moss with a fishing line?
duh...
Actually it depends. Which ever way that secures the moss would do.Originally Posted by jacquetlc

duh...Up to individuals, I believe. Also up to your skills on tying knots since not easy with fish line.

Thank you! nice article! ... now... what kind of moss would you suggest if i want to grow a 'carpet' of moss ... my tank is only 1.5 feet ... *tink tink*... *ponder*
try taiwan or christmas moss...
i personally like these as walls better....
if on the bed i think errect or weeping moss wld be nice..
coz they kinda grow upwards (i think.....)
but thats just my opinion
to tie them use the fishing line...
dun use thread coz after awhile the thread will just 'break' off in the long run
i had that experience
Where in Singapore are you located? Nature Aquarium(opp. Thomson Medical Centre) and Colourful Tropical Aquarium(next to Nature Aquarium) have a pretty good selection for you to choose from. Bioplast along Boon Keng road also have a pretty good selection.
Call me Brian.
P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

Thanks!
I'm in the West, earlier on went to Biotope but can't find, went to Wu Hu but near closing time...
nevertheless, will still continue to draw inspirations on how to rescape my tank and also to consider what kinda moss mua wants...
The only hindrance is i've got no base fert nor CO2... BIG mistake in the beginning when I start the planted aquarium...
Biotope is located at the blk next to old Bukit Merah SAFRA. Please check this thread for their operating hours.

Wu Hu has good selection of healthy plants IMO. There are a few bros who are staying in the West as well, including me. You can pick up some free plants when we trim our tanks. Teo's farm is another good option. Actually you can reach there by bus if you dun mind a bit of walking.
As for lack of base fert, you can go for stem plants. Or alternatively, insert root monster. CO2 can always be added anytime.
Depending on what plants u are getting, u may not need base fert unless they are stem plants or foreground plants (hair grass, hc, mm, ...) Nana, java fern, moss don't need base fert but with CO2, they grow better and faster (with enough light of course). Think over what kind of scape and maintenance frequency u want and just do it. U can rescape, u know...

Yupe... :} now am doing a first rescaping... getting some inspiration first... heh heh hehDepending on what plants u are getting, u may not need base fert unless they are stem plants or foreground plants (hair grass, hc, mm, ...)
Albert say stem plants don't need base fert?!?!

Stem plants absorb nutrients more from their stem and leaves rather than their roots. Of cos with base fert, they will do better.
Oops. Sorry. What I meant is rooted plants (always think them as stem plants)...

Rooted plants also don't need base fert, as in, base fert is not compulsory. They can take nutrients from the water just as well.
