| Attaching java Moss...
we've been discussing lots of different ways to attach java moss to different objects. I think I have come up with a unique method.
1) The first pic is my "Stone head Java Man" cave. The only openings are it's mouth and eyes.
2) Laid Java Moss over head, covered whole cave with a hair net.
3)Couldn't resist pic of dojo and corys checking out the cave man.
Haven't tried a hairnet before. It is fixed so none of the fish can get inside of it and get caught.

| That is too funny. I have used the back off of orange or grapefruit bags that is just a mesh for this but never on something like this. Love the head can't wait for his hair to grow in. | |

How long did it take ? About three weeks. if I hadn't kept on pulling the hairnet off to check it probably not that long
