fishmom Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 What has happened to my Java Moss? Its green, but thinned and sad looking. Tank occupants are ember tetras, cherry shrimp, and some stupid scuds. Any idea what could have caused this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarina Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 This usually happens when there isn't enough water movement, light, and co2. Try removing some of your floating plants and see if the higher light promotes a little more compact growth. Java moss will always be a little more stringy than other varieties, but you can get it to grow denser with more light. You can also try chopping it up to promote offshoots depending on how much work you want to out into it. I've found that even though Java moss is considered a low light requirement moss, it looks its best when grown with moderate lighting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
