Just to share these pictures...

Nice? I would wish to have some in my vivarium!

Taken from Eco Culture's terrarium for White's Tree Frog.

what fissiden is that? looks very different than any submersed fissiden I ever saw.

**Justikanz** · 28th Nov 2006, 10:01

I think it is an terrestrial fissiden moss... the fronds are pretty big too...

**Shadow** · 28th Nov 2006, 11:17

can it be converted to submersed form?

**Justikanz** · 28th Nov 2006, 11:25

Beats me... You can buy from Eco Culture and try.

It would be interesting to try...

wow! nice fissidens. is it Fissidens fontanus? but look different and so lovely

The above is not fissiden. It is known as white moss. Can't remember the scientific name. It is terrestrial, can't grow submerged.

We are suckers for fissidens uh

Hee... I did mention in post#3 that I think it is a terrestrial fissidens moss... Perhaps I should use the inverted commas for the word 'fissidens'...

More options for terrariums and vivariums!...

Yes you did, I (beginer) didn't know that terrestrial moss can't grow submerge

my bad

**Justikanz** · 29th Nov 2006, 10:51

Oh, no... I corrected the title to make it less, err, wrong...

It was a bad choice of words... The plant just blew my mind away, I guess... Haha...

**[C]irRuS** · 29th Nov 2006, 19:29

When I got hold of the plant last year, I though it was fissiden too. After it was sent to the lab, then realise it is not.

**Shadow** · 29th Nov 2006, 19:55

Send to the lab? you can actually do that?

do you need to pay?

**ranmasatome** · 30th Nov 2006, 01:44

Justikanz... if you want.. outside my place got TOOOOONs of this... send you some for free when spring comes.

**Justikanz** · 30th Nov 2006, 09:30

*Woo Hoo*... Thanks! Haha... Then can set up more vivariums! Haha...

Such mosses, collected from the forrests, can they take the heat in an enclosed tank with PL/T5 lights??

**ranmasatome** · 30th Nov 2006, 09:38

how about i collect in the summer.. then you know those that i send sure can survive loh.

**[C]irRuS** · 30th Nov 2006, 12:45

Haha actually Singapore have alot of these moss. The temperature of a vivarium should also not be too high. So it shouldn't cause much problem.m These moss is beautiful, when it is abit too dry, it will turn whiter.
