Hi, folks,

I visited Generation X fish shop the other day to look at their mosses. Thomas, the owner was very nice and allowed me to take pictures. Here's a pic of their display tank which contains no other plants but mosses:


Here's the same tank from a different angle:


Here's a close-up of the Moss wall in the display tank. Most likely, it's Singapore Moss.


Here's the same moss grown in a different tank.


Gen X sells a variety of mosses, one of which is Weeping Moss.


Here's the Weeping look which Dennis couldn't achieve in his tanks.


Gen X also sells a moss which Thomas calls Creeping Moss.


Here's how the Creeping Moss looks when tied on a piece of wire mesh.


Thomas also have another moss which looks like a species of Vesicularia but it's unlike any we know.


There's also a moss which probably is a species of Fissidens.


Thomas does not use plastic mesh to grow his moss walls. He uses undergravel filter plates. Wright who has problems finding plastic mesh where he lives may want to consider this method.



I've always thought that the Yamato numa ebi, commonly known as Amano shrimp eats mosses but Gen X does not seem to have a problem with them.


What is even more amazing is the way Thomas feeds CO2 into his display tank. The bubbling rate seems incredibly high. I asked but Thomas does not know what's the Ph of the tank. His fish does not seem to mind though.
