Mosses for nano?

[kerokero]

Let me know how it goes! I was tossing around ordering or not, but consider myself too much of a newb to put that much money into plants I'm not 100% sure about

I also got Fissidens zippelianus, and while it's grown a tad, it's been very very slow, making me think it might not be a true aquatic as well. Let me know how the Fissidens splachnobryoides goes.

Stupid Question Time -------> Has anyone ever tried to grow the plain kind of "sidewalk moss" in their tanks? You know this moss, it's the stuff that grows on bricks and in really shady spots in the garden.

Any luck with it???? I'm just curious and enquiring minds want to know.

Maaaaan! I hate being a "mee too!"...but I am. Got my order of Plagiomnium affine and Star Moss a couple of weeks ago too. I can honestly say I'm not thrilled with either one, although the affine seems to think that it wants to maybe hang on to some driftwood perhaps....we'll see if that comes true or not. I was, however, amused by the handwritten note on the customs tag that said "soft toys". Yeiks.

I bought Plagiomnium trichomanes, Plagiomnium affine, and Star Moss (Tortula ruralis) a few months ago to investigate their use, and so far, the only one that's grown at all has been Plagiomnium trichomanes. The other two do not appear to be aquatic. That said, Plagiomnium trichomanes does not look like the picture the seller I bought it from (and presumably the one you're looking at) advertises, and really is nothing special.

Yes, most of it doesn't grow well.

Fontinalis antipyretica and Fissidens fontanus are native if you can find them.
