Evening all,

Can anyone share the secret to lush green Fissidens fontanus with me? I've grown it a few times and although it grows, it always seems a bit dark and almost grey.

How do you achieve beautiful green growth like this?

Thanks everyone,

Ben

Lots of shrimp, higher light and co2/ flow to match.
Dark green is the plant producing more chlorophyll to make use of low light normally.
Saying that it doesn't need masses of light as a slow grower to achieve lighter greens but IME does need to be direct.

Cool - many thanks everyone. Bit of an overhaul due this weekend, so will take this all into account.
Cheers,
Ben
