Hi
I am not great with mosses Id.But the one I have growing outdoors came out of my tanks and was sold to me as java moss.It was few years back so no idea where that came from.
On the other hand I got my Asellus and Grangonyx starter from you Darrell(they came in moss)so it may be some of that moss that is thriving outdoors as can not guarantee both mosses haven't mixed in my tanks
This moss and Round pelia grow well outdoors in sun or shade and overwinter very well.
Also for clarification i keep mine fully submerged (at least most of the time)
Regards Konstantin

Hi all,

That will be part of my "moss mountain". Some of them would be worth "serious" money, if you could work out what was what.
I'll post one tomorrow.

Hi all,
When I post <"some tank janitors"> I grab a <"handful of moss">, it doesn't tend to have much in the way of snails etc in it. The tanks are also pretty mossy, but they potentially <"have a lot more hitch-hikers">.
All that is in there is a lot of Cyperus alternifolius and a lot of moss.

Three in fact. This is from a large galvanized water tank in the Glasshouse, so cold but not below freezing.
