Woohoo I got java moss!

Yes, I've been looking around for this stuff forever, and finally got some today! I got it from another fishkeeper that I found on the Utah Aquatics forum. I just wanted to share my joy, lol. It's now decorating both my betta tanks, and they all seem to be loving it!

I have clumps of it scattered about my 55 as well and all the fish seem to love picking at it and swimming around it trying to pick out food that may have floated in it. Its nice to have some natural plants in the tank then just artificial, which I have a lot of as well. And the java moss does fine in the traditional hood lights that have low wattage.

Do you have fake in the Puffers tank because he tears them up?

Well, I tried my java fern in there, and it wasn't doing well at all, so I gave up. And I plan on raising the SG even more, so figured it wouldn't be worth it to put more plants in there.

I just wondered. Here is a list that are brackish tolerant, but I think they have to be gradually adapted.

Uh oh, don't let me see that! I'll come up with more dastardly schemes to fill yet another aquarium with plants, lol.
