Amano Moss

Post by Aaron »

I think this might be the same moss as the 'Amano' moss we've been passing around. It's a Taxiphyllum species as is Java Moss...hence the similarities we've noticed between the two. Opinions?

Hmm... It's impossible to tell without doing a side-by-side microscopic comparision, but the shots of the individual strands actually look like the Taiwan moss that's gone around to me. (Or is that the same as the Amano moss?)

No, the two are different. Taiwan moss is triangular.
