i dont know whether to try this or a diy polystyrene background.. which will look better? also, what conditions does java moss need? any special water parameters or can i just dump in in my tropical tank (23 degrees c) and let it grow? please reply

@littlelauren971

it depends on your final layout, what you want to achieve :D...for me, I would prefer moss wall :D

Which part of the world are you in? usually around 25C is best for most aquatic plants, at 23C, you can use a heater, to achieve 25C or higher, which is much cheaper compare to us here, we have to use a chiller :(.....

@borneosucker im in england, so it feels like winter all year round, with air temp getting to below 10C, my tank is set at 23C and im looking to rehome a load of my danio cuz im fed up with them (no colour) and will buy some moss to attempt a wall :D thanks for the help

Ahh that explain your low water temperature. Here in Malaysia, we have higher water temperature, and sometimes extreme hobbyist put their tanks in air conditioned room, use multiple chiller...Expensive way just to bring down water temperature :(.....in your case, it is so so much easy to achieve higher temperature with a cheap heater :D.....anyway, good decision to go with a moss wall...do make sure your tanks have lights for the moss to grow ~Cheers!

We don't keep aquatic plants with goldfish :(.....they are prone to eat them :(...their mouth can't stop munching...haha....

@RocNeil1

Yeap, possibly.....after a long period of time it will grow on your filter :)

Will my java moss take over my filter? Some pieces got stuck in mines!
