I have just received brand new java moss ( a bucket fill )
i was thinking of putting it in my new tank i all ready have it in my fry tank

i don't know if you guys have seen the tubes you have in the little fish tanks were you put the pump in the see though pipes ?
i went out and bought 1 of them and made 100s of wholes in it and but a bot at the bottom and top of it with java moss in the middle

would java moss grow in one of them ? it has holes in 100s of them for water two get in / out
will try and get a image of the pipe
 
It'll probably get filled with algae, and the java moss on the inside will die due to lack of nutrients/water etc.

will it ? well i have no netting etc so cant tie it to anything. they said they included it but haven't ...

hmm so whats best two do ? can take a pic if needed ? two show you what ive done
 
Java moss can be fine in the tank just free floating. I have mosses in betta bowls doing quite well just suspended in the water.

then it goes into the pump ??? the bye bye's
i have a internal pump and a external pump
 
You could tie it to a stone in the tank, if you have any. Fishing line is great for it.
 
do you mean a spray bar ?

if not a picture would be good

Here you go ( looks silly i know )
 
any 1 know if it will grow or at least attach in side there ? there are holes has you can see
 
If the moss in the middle can somehow get light then i dont see why not, could you put a slightly thinner tube inside it so all the moss was against the side? Might that work?

yer the moss is touching the sides i only want it two attach then can cut the pipe open :rolleyes:
were it ent attached ive made loads of holes so water can get in and other stuff etc
They sent me a big bucket fill off the moss so don't want it two die
 
Why not use the moss you want and attach it to something like wood or rock, holes aren't good enough, it needs constant water circulation to deliver nutrients, you can always sell what you don't require on here.

like ive said i do not have wire or the plant mess because they forgot two send it and it will take 10 days for them two send it
10 days of the plant out of the tank will die
