Vesicularia Dubyana

[Greg Stephens]

Was wondering if any of you where growing it?
If when you got it did it appear to have been growing emersed or immersed?
How long did it take to acclimate to you tank?
What temps do you run you tank at?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Greg,

I have Vesicularia dubyana in my tanks. I grow them submersed but I know they can be grown emersed too without any problems. The temperature in my tanks are around 27 degrees C most of the time. As far as I know, as long as it does not go above 28 C, everything should be fine for the moss.

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah I struggle to keep my tank cool enough but am getting good at it.

Did you buy your Singapore moss where it was acclimated to growing under water?

If it appeared to have been growing above water how long did it take to acclimate to growing under water?

Hi, Greg,

As far as I know, it's not a problem acclimatising the V. dubyana from an emersed state to a submersed one. In fact, there's no problem too with the other way around. The V. dubyana is by nature, semi-aquatic. In other words, it will take well to life under and above water. So long as it's kept wet, anyway.
