Information on Moss
Let me start by saying that I thought the Moss article was great...
I have just started my tank and have some mosses in the tank....some on driftwood, some in guppy breeding nets....
I got some moss from NA that was supposedly Taiwan moss but chances they arent. They are on the same driftwood as the "christmas" moss...
Problem is that my "Christmas" moss is not confirmed Christmas but could be HDB Moss.....I also got some Java Moss but that can easily be identified from the others.
To make matters worse....I also have some Moss that I got from Telok Blangah Area that I have been cultivating submersed.
My problem is that all the mosses look different... The "Taiwan" moss is more compact, my "Christmas" is less so...intitially when I got it, I was skeptical as it had long straight strands but has since started growing buds and is looking more Christmas like. The moss I got from the Hill is also slightly different but more similar to the "Taiwan" Moss from NA
I will be taking some pictures soon and hope that some members can help identify them...... In the meantime if anyone can let me know which shop sells the real Taiwan Moss, I would like to go and have a look see and maybe get some as I am thinking of setting a moss only tank and grow them in same conditions to see the differences...as I am getting very interested in mosses as time goes by...... Would also like to get the "new" moss from Oriental......Mosses are definately interesting.
