Should I Get Java Moss?

[HooverOtoCat]

I have a 10gal that I am going to start putting my guppy fry in. It has a 10gal whisper filter on it (getting a 5-20gal Aqua Clear Filter to replace it). Two cascading bubblers on opposite ends and the normal gravel. Also the hood light is up to 15watts (I only have one bulb in to light up one side). I turn it on during day and off at night. Also the spot it is in gets low light during the day.

I was wondering is it ok to get Java Moss?

Is it ok without a CO2 system for that size tank?

Also what things do I have to keep the moss healthy and living (like fertilizer or some additives)?

If everything checks out ok...I will go out and get a piece of driftwood for it. Then let the water run for a couple of days before adding the moss.

Thanks everyone.

No reason no too CO2 would be better but it would grow ok with added fertilizer

Yes add it, done need to do anything ofther than give it light.

Fry love it as they can fine microscopic foods on it too.
