Please help me identify this moss!

Have no idea...



There are some pieces that are really long. I can post more pics if it helps 🙂

I always thought java moss

ant

 

[jojouk]

I'm pretty sure it's not java. Java is all stringy and there is no 'shape'?

 

[anttthony]

I thought so but baught a tub of this sold as java moss interesting to see what I was scammed with

ant

 

[jojouk]

So you have some similar to this?

 

[anttthony]

ant

 

[jojouk]

I have a full bucket of it! It was in my shrimp cube, I finally thinned it out. It does grow very well!

Perhaps its Taiwan moss or spiky moss? Just a random guess. I can say for sure it's not Java, I expect Java to be more stringy so to say.

 

[jojouk]

I know it's not spiky moss, I have some of that as well in a tank.

I'm thinking possibly it may be peacock moss (as I know I had some of that) but as it's grown under very very low light, because the tank was literally full of it, it has become more elongated than usual?

Hi all,

I'm thinking possibly it may be peacock moss

I think it might be as well. If you feel the texture of the moss, Taxiphyllum spp. are very soft and "silky", whilst the Vesicularia spp. are tougher and more "gritty". <List of Aquatic Moss. How to grow Aquatic Moss. Info on Java Moss, Christmas Moss, Taiwan Moss, Peacock Moss, Stringy Moss>.

I'll go and have a stroke...

 

[jojouk]

Right, I am now 80% sure it's Christmas moss...

I was going to say my Christmas moss grew like this when it was free floating and left to it's own devices 🙂

My moss was certainly left to its own devices!

 

[Viv]

Yep, that's what mine was looking like!
