CT_ Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think I'd like to get this kind of plant or one similar. If there's a few plants that look like this, fastish growing (PAR ~30, so not a ton of light) and easy are always preferred :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'm not great with identifying plants, but it looks like a type of moss to me. My initial thought is flame moss since it's growing pretty straight upwards. Moss all looks pretty much the same to me. I'm sure someone with more knowledge can tell you exactly what kind it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeltz Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Honestly. Pretty sure it is a moss. Similar to fire moss. I have it in my outdoor pond in Washington. And now in my fish tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mridul Singh Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've kept a few types of mosses, and that picture looks a lot like flame moss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I agree that looks like Flame moss. Java moss might be the easiest to grow in low light. It can grow so well that you end up needing to trim it. Here is a pic of some that I trimmed yesterday. Here is the large chunk I just whacked off and stuffed in my scrap tank: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT_ Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 If I can find it, I'm going to give the flame moss a chance and see how it does; i just love how it grows like that. If it fails I'll just grow some javamoss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes L. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think the moss you circled is Java Moss. I have it growing in two of my tanks. Here's two pictures so you can see the difference. Flame Moss has a very unique characteristic of the way it curves and waves, kind of like a flame...hence the name. Java just grows straight up and is a tad more delicate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
