What moss?

[itssg]

Found some unknown mosses in FRIM.

This moss growing emersed on the ground where quite close to the stream. And I found some growing inside the stream.


Plagiomnium sp? Currently both of the mosses growing well inside my nano. I can see the small stalk and new leaves growing. The nano tank is without any CO2. 5 hours photoperiod and top in the water daily. 30%Water change weekly.

Sure. No problem.

Hard to tell, Dom but your first picture looks like Singapore Moss. I don't know what's the second but I've seen the 3rd one in many places in Singapore. As far as I know, it won't grow underwater.

Hi Loh,

The 2nd and 3rd mosses do growing well inside my tank. I can see the new leaf or new stalk coming out. And i saw quite a number of them growing submersed inside the stream. I collected those emersed. Because cleaner. :P

For the first moss, it doesn't really look like Singapore moss to me. Coz it is very light green. I having some of them inside the tank. They seem like melting.

Anyway, I will send all the species i have to you later on. I m just headache don't know how to take the fissiden off from the rock.

Regards,
Dom

Dom,

Just pull a few fronds from the rock and send them to me. Do not send the whole rock

The Singapore Moss is of a lighter green when grown emersed. I found some growing on the bark of a tree during one of my nature walks. Here's a pic:



You can see more pictures of mosses I found in this thread.

As for your 3rd moss, it sometimes take a while before they start to die underwater. However, if you can keep them alive in your tanks, congratulations.

Hi Loh,
The Singapore moss where i found previously was very near to the river. And they shown in dark green. I never see so fresh and light green Singapore moss.
Yes. The 2nd and 3rd mosses growing well inside my tank. But very slow.

Hi TS,
I am fine here. How are you doing? Currently i am trying to grow them submersed and emersed. But seem like the emersed growing faster than submersed. I will update you once it is fully grown submersed.

Cheers,
Dom
