Why not add some shrimps to it to make it into a shrimp tank?

Is just my personal opinion.

Humm... i thinks i saw some shrimps in his tanks.
or maybe i have some eyesight problem.

[feeblemind]

Wow. So java moss is not demanding at all. Maybe I'll try growing them in the office.

[jamesneo]

Haha there are 100+ super red cherry shrimps hidding inside the tank + others shrimps too.

Hmmm, no trick, i just dump the shrimps and moss inside. moss are hardy plant. No worry. Shrimps are hardy too for some. []

Interesting mound of moss. How did you make them stand erect?

[jamesneo]

the round lump is quite hollow inside. The trick here is i used only a long stick to push the mosses into the desired shape. Quite a large amount need to be used and mosses must be long and with branches. Happy planting. []

Hi James,

Care to share how do you manage to make it into a carpet of moss? And how long does it takes to do that?

I have tried pressing them down with a wire mess and they don't grow into a nice carpet like yours!

[jamesneo]

Hmmm wire mesh should be fine. Patience pal, they grow really slowly.

Updated with clearer picture. 2 mosses become 1 moss ball at the center
