    Carpeting my soil with moss

    I tried carpeting my soil with some moss. Not sure what it's name is. I failed a few times as they just keep floating up to the surface or they just don't stick to the soil. Is there some way to make the carpet stay on to the soil? My moss was intitally tied on to a dome made out of coconut that I bought from Seaview at $7.50. I didn't use the dome anymore so I removed the moss and tried to make it grow on to the soil. Please advice. Thank you!

    And by the way, my java moss( referring to diffrent moss from above) has some algae on it. By putting SAE into my tank affect my shrimps or shrimplets?

    you can use steel wire mesh so it wont float. probably your using a plastic mesh, if like this you have to anchor it down to your soil by putting a rock on it something so it wont float

    Have you tried the Marketplace? There's always people selling US Fissidens tied on SS mesh so you can ask them to sell you if they're located near where you live. If you're staying in the west, C328 always has US Fissidens or you can try GC.

    Of all the mosses, I feel Java Moss is the easiest and least demanding.

    Bro, to help you find it sooner, maybe you can search for Jamesneo in this forum. Just one of the names that pops up in my mind.
