how to do that? a friend told me that putting the moss in the tank, throw them at the bottom and put in some pieces of small rock, it will creep on to the gravel(lapis) any truth in that? if not what is the proper way of getting a moss carpet?

most people probably using the stainless steel mess. This way it is easier to maintain, incase you need to do some trimming. By the way not all moss are creaping, at least not Taiwan, weeping, flame and Spiky.

Well, I thought Christmas, Taiwan and Spiky moss are creeping moss? I am confuse? I used to grow a lot of spiky moss on my foreground. Looks great. Only need to prevent it from getting too thick..The inital period is very nice for sure
