zayackylepga Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 For whatever reason, Java moss in my tank is looking thin and wiry with no real mass or bushiness to it. Nitrates steady at around 40ppm and pretty low light to cater to my kuhli loaches. Is it the low light that has it looking like this or is it simply too close to the light, being that it’s on the top part of my spider wood near the top of the water? Dose with Easy Iron, Easy Green, and occasionally potassium as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intuos Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I would suggest cutting it back and then either tying or gluing the cuttings back on. Then keep trimming it back every few weeks and it should start to fill in and grow a bit denser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 some "java" moss's are very stringy. it looks green and healthy, so it is probably being all it can be. this is a problem with "java moss" so many different types of moss called the same thing you dont really know what you are getting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collette Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'm having the same issue. Moss that was once lush and full is now wirey, and it even feels that way when I go in to trim it. It's very odd. I was thinking of posting this myself when I decided to search it. I've noticed it in 2 of my tanks, one high tech, one low tech, both with excellent parameters and all other plants are growing lushly. It's definitely got me scratching my head too.
