    Hi

    anyone has experience with the above mentioned moss before? Is it true they're self creeping moss without having to tie them to logs and rocks?

    You would need to tie it its respective position initial after which it would grab hold of the wood and spread itself. A rather slow grower.

    Hey thanks

    Do they need lots of light and CO2 to do well?

    It is more beneficial for you to do a search on AQ on it. It would provide you more insights on other bros' woes and pride of cultivating fissidens.

    Here's the link to help you kick start

    Hi, it doesn't need much light. Easy but a little on the slow side. It's one of the faster fissidens species actually.

    Hi,
    US fissidens will generally grow quite well in cooler waters. ( If you don't have a chiller, can consider adding a fan to lower the temperature by 1-2 degrees - effective up to a 2 feet tank).

    Cheers!
