Java Moss

[guppymonkey]

I finally found some java moss! For some reason I can never find it in any of the local pet stores or even on most of the sites online that sell plants and fish. But I found some for sale on aquabid.com for only a few bucks AND with free shipping! It came in today in one big ball. This stuff is great! Hopefully, it will grow quickly so I can use it in all of my breeder tanks.

I received some free java moss from a user on here and it's great stuff, needs no attention and looks very natural.

Congrats on finding some, I had a real job finding any!

I have been looking for Java moss for ages and the other day in my LFS they had just got some in .

Then he told me the price, £5 for a clump of moss the size of a golf ball .

I remember years ago I used to be giving the stuff away by the bag full but when I went rift cichlids only I got shot of it all, how I regret that now.

that's weird - i always get mine from java-plants.com with no problems, its pretty cheap too. my only issue is getting the darn stuff to stay alive - after 3 months a tiny piece has finally started growing off one of my decorations..

Try advertising on here in the Buy/Sell forum for a plant trade. Or perhaps offer payment if your ever in the need for more. Im sure someone wouldnt mind passing some along to a felow aquariast.

Hi guppymonkey

I had the same problem. None of the lfs I go to are particularly big on plants and when they do have them, they want a fortune for them.

I bought some more just this week on AquaBid and hope it does as well as the last batch I got on there. Cory fry love the stuff!

Over here almost all the lfs near me sell the stuff and have it in at least once every two months or so, and their stocking lists are pretty pathetic really.

My convict and mosquitofish fry seem to love the java moss. I have been weighing it down so far, hopefully it will grow quickly. I have heard some people say that java moss is really easy to grow but others have said that its hard to grow.
