Can I Put Moss From My Garden In My Tank?

[baron von bubba]

well, i didn't plan on tellin my dad. but i'd have to if i bought some.

or would i?

better hope he doesn't read the forums!

Its worth keepin an eye on the for sale section, you can get some stupidly cheap plants in there sometimes!

Hi, it looks like sphagnum moss from the pic, I would be very suprised if it grows submerged it will more than likely rot if completely submerged and pollute your tank, it is more of a bog plant than a true aquatic.

i read on a website that most moss you find in your garden is java moss. o and my dad won't let me buy off here incase the plants bring disease or aren't sent

IS MOSS BUT NOT JAVA
java moss is totally different

dude.
your dad is worried about disease of plants from here but is happy for you to put some (more than likely) non aquatic moss from the garden in the tank!!??

i posted out a heap of plants yesterday to 3 ppl, only one paid up front the other two are posting money in return!
who is more likely to lose out??

If I where buying plants from you or any company overseas I would not have a problem paying upfront I've purchased many topical aquatic plants never had any problems
