Can these "moss" be used in the aquarium?!?

Hi all, was wondering if the greenish thing in the picture is also a type of moss... & if yes, could they be used in a planted tank for beautifying purposes?? Thanks!!!

Couldn't really see the enlarge version. A whole lot of greens... could imagine how beautiful it'll look as a lawn.

They look like singapore moss. Its not easy to convert them to submerged form.

Thanks and sorry Aquaculture, my digi-cam not that good and my hands shaking also when taking it... I was thinking of using it to create a green and lush lawn effect in my planted tank also...

Hmm... Singapore Moss... learnt something again!! Not easy to convert... means still can convert but with more time and effort is it? Any idea how?? Thanks!!

Hi Beetlejuice,
Put it in a planted tank tied to some rock or wood. But you must pick only the fresh green bits. All the root like brown bits must be thrown away or it will rot and cause a lot of algae problems.

Not your fault bro... just my eyes giving me the problem.

Thanks StanChung!! So does it mean I should grow it in a seperate tank (without Fauna) or can mix into an existing Planted Tank with Floral & Fauna already? Then does it require CO2 & light (as in invest in PL lights) for it to grow well? Sorry with my endless questions...

No problem Aquaculture, already very appreciate your kind gesture to reply to my thread... Thanks!!!

Fauna like shrimp, SAE would be counterproductive. CO2 is not necessary but better imho. Low temp a must.
