Managed to successfully cultivate these aquatic mosses (pics intensive)
Have some nice mosses to show, spent many many months getting them to adapt to growing submersed.
Has been a challenge though. One of this is called Zipper moss. A sp from the Fissidens family. Interesting moss, after research online, found that it is quite sought after overseas and relatively rare and pricey! Its was pure luck that i managed to harvest them from the wild and convert it to grow successfully in submersed form. Very beautiful moss that resembles a zip heres some pics of the moss (some are from the net), enjoy.. |

Another type of moss resembles hyophila involunta (star moss), but its not that because i have a species of it growing submersed for a long time in my tank.
So the name of the moss still unidentified, but nonetheless managed to cultivate it. heres some pics of it. |
