Giant Taiwan Moss (GTM)

[Green Baron]

I mentioned in this post about a Taxiphyllum which looks different from the regular Taiwan moss (Taxiphyllum alternans), from the look as well as the size.



I call this moss Giant Taiwan Moss (GTM) because it can grow really big, much bigger than any mosses I have grown.

This is a photo I took a few months back when I rescape the tank.



The top 2 fronds are GTM. The thin and long frond was left floating in a Goldfish bowl in a dark cover thus it is thin and long. The other one was plucked from the moss wall in the 2ft tank.

Today I measured one frond which was left floating in the 2 feet tank after I rescaped the tank. It is now longer than an A4 paper !



I have given this moss to quite a few members in this forum and I am curious how it is doing under different water conditions.

So far I have only grown this moss in a non CO2 tank and I would like to know how this moss looks like in a tank with CO2 and high light.

If you have this moss, please share with us how this moss is doing in your tank.
