You could always try ebay for java moss or other types of mosses. For me ebay was significantly cheaper than my LFS. Also you can try and find someone from your area on these forums that might be able to sell/give you some.

as far as making a moss wall or moss carpet check out Jimboooo's step by step guide from this forum

I'm not a plant expert but I can recommend Plants Alive; http/www.plantsalive.co.uk/index.php
I've had plants from them and was very happy.

I can recommend "The Green Machine" for all plants and for helping choose plants you can't go wrong with a site called plantgeek where you can choose from ease of growing, tank placement, light requirements etc and it will come back with a specific list for you.

Weeping moss? That looks good, beter than Java!

 

[riggs111]

yea it does look good but cant seem to find any!

Some of the ebay sellers should have some, espeially the ones sending from Malaysia. It won't be next day delivery but the plants I've had from there are all fine when they arrive and the moss is cheap enough too.
