He kind of looks like something you would find on some lost Island There's also an Easter Island head but I liked this one better for my project.

That is funny..Cories are the cutest smartest little things. Looks like a bed to me too..lol..Pretty comfy one at that.

mr. Clown Loach

navyscuba

I hope they are like Elvis Sideburns

Butterfly

I trimmed it a bit so it would be thicker, could very well wind up with Stone Head Elvis

Carol, it looks great!!! I have to do one of those in one of my tanks at some point. I am so glad that you shared this with us

Carol did u get the Idea from Chia Pet?

Butterfly

No not really Down through the years I've put Java Moss on a variety of things but this is the first head.
CHoffman is the one that compared him to a Chia pet first
Carol

navyscuba

haha. Sorry didn't notice the chia pet comment before. hey I'm hoping to see the elvis side burns.

Butterfly

Don't be sorry That seems to be the first thought that hits anybodys mind LOL. I have had a really good time with this fella.

CHoffman

Trying to steal my Chia Pet idea.. Just kidding...lol.

navyscuba

hahaha no harm haha

mr. Clown Loach

let it grow big long hair and maybe it will be able to beat the world record for longest hair which is i think 9-10ft

SWilkins

He is looking great. His "hair" is filling in nicely from what I can see LOL. Now everything I look at I wonder if I can attach java moss to it. You have definitely started something with this one.

Butterfly

Sherry- Java Moss is cool to cover clay pots(will grow until you can't see the pot, rocks, wood. The possibilities are endless
Carol

SWilkins

I have covered rocks, driftwood, even an ugly plastic ornament with it but this guy is just over the top. I have also done some covering with Peacock moss....hummmmm.....wonder what that "hair do" would look like? LOL

mr. Clown Loach

Lucy

Carol, I lost track of this thread. The pics are great!
I love the pic with the loach, it looks like your aquaman is sticking his tongue out. lol Too funny.
The cory shot is too cute, poor aquaman has fish on his head. lol

Butterfly

I will post some more pics in the next couple of days thanks for asking.

Lucy all the fish think he has food hidden in his hair so they are always up there snuffling around but the corys go to sleep then jump and continue hunting LOL It's hilarous to watch.
Carol

SWilkins

Bump

Sorry we need some pics. I'm still looking for more stuff to put moss on...LOL.

Butterfly

SWilkins this has a small terracota pot in the middle of it LOL

Carol

SWilkins

Pretty!!! Are you sure there is a pot under there...LOL. Looks great!!

Butterfly

Yep there's a pot under there LOL It was a cave for the Otos who never used it so I just let it grow. It finally filled the whole 10g tank. The Guppy fry loved it. I love Java Moss because it's so adaptable. It does really well in unheated tanks also but I noticed the fronds(?) grow a little more pronounced.
1) Java moss in unheated tank attached to a small rock.
2) Frond
3) update on Java head man

I remember when this thread was first started thinking that head w. the moss was way too cute...so when I found a similar (plastic) one for sale I couldn't resist

Mine's not a hairnet and the moss still needs some time, but I'm hoping Mr Java Man will have a full head of green hair shortly!

(see Carol, you're starting a trend )
