jo oakley Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I placed an order for Java moss with my LFS and got this it has been in the tanks for 6 days and has stayed in a nice close mat, not like any other Java moss I have picked up from hobbyists.

fishbites Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Doesn't look like java moss that I have... the amount of branches on it could be christmas or peacock moss perhaps but I'm not an expert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 So I am not going mad, I don't know if I should pop back and get the other 2 bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 well if its one of those two mosses (which are fairly common in Aust) they are worth a lot more than java moss and make a really nice show in a tank, on a rock or driftwood or as a moss wall.... I have both but somehow have mixed them up and don't know which is which anymore.... but the bettas love to hide in it and lay on it etc... shrimps love it just as much as java moss too....

jo oakley Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I was thinking about a moss wall, I have been reading up on it. My Old man Bettta got a whole bag and it has made him a lot happier, more like his old self. My Red Cherry Shrimp seem to have vanished into it, I am hoping for some shrimlets soon. The Guppies seem fond of it too. You know, I have talked myself into it, I will pop in tomorrow and see if the 2 bags are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo oakley Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I knew I should have stayed away from the LFS, spent over $60 without trying. They had a Sale!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 LOL.. So it's our fault for egging you on is it???? What did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I picked up the 2 bags of ??? moss, Thursday is the day that the aquatic plants get delivered. They don't have a great range, so 2 bags of java fern & 2 banana lilys. A bag of brine shrimp and black worms. An Aqua One breeder sponge filter. Fry care decapsulated brine shrimp and a hatchery. Last but not least a lager circular air stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Sounds like you had fun Jo... Did they sell the other moss as java moss as well? Is "Fry Care" the brand name for those decap'd brine shrimp eggs? Never seen them up here but would be interesting to get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) yeah Wayne, I got the 2 bags of ??? moss for the java moss price. The ?? moss is quite firm/stiff to the touch. NTlabs Fry care is a brand name. I do have fun Edited August 5, 2010 by jo oakley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
