Java Moss - Help!

[gosu-pk]

I've recently purchased java moss, and I did what you're suppose to do, place it inside your aquarium,
Well, over the 2 weeks, the java moss turned brown, and then died... I'm pretty upset since I paid $20 for a small chunk of java moss over the internet..
$20 may not sound much, but i'm still a high school student, so that was basically my life savings I've read that java moss does not require maintenance, even though all the tests i took for the aquarium were accurate..
Why did this happen?

Is there anywhere cheap and local that I can purchase java moss? I live in the Los Angeles area.

Please help!


Thank you very much

Sounds like a dodgy batch, its normally almost impossible to kill.

Have you tried ebay? Aquaticmagic gets good reviews and will ship plants world wide, or I've just done a quick google search and found http/www.aquariumgarden.com/index.php?do...p;plantid=mi084, although it says they are currently our of stock for java moss.

As Sam says Aquatic Magic sell many types of moss. I would go for Christmas moss because I have found that it grows quite quickly and much thicker than most other types. Take a look here

I have also boght loads of equipment including glass flo pipes, diffusor, bubble counter, NRV etc, so the whole planted range is there.

$20 sounds quite a lot for java moss to me!!

post an ad in the buy/sell/swap section asking if anyone can spare you some, i'd send you some if you were in the same country as me
