Easy way to remove hair algae from Java Moss: Get a bottle brush and simply twirl the hair algae around it, like making cotton candy. The brush will easily pull all of the hair algae out. It will take some of the moss with it, but that is no big deal - in fact, you could call it a "twofer" - remove algae and trim moss at the same time. After a few times doing this, the hair algae will not come back as strong and, eventually, you may be able to almost eradicate it altogether.

Also every time I go to the pet store and I see a cup of Java moss for sale that is 3/4 dead I convince them to sell it to me for almost nothing because the employees at the chain stores don't realize that the moss is converting from emersed growth to immersed growth in the cup. So they sell it to me for super cheap every time because they think I'm an idiot and they're making money and I bring it home and it bursts to life in my aquarium once it's in proper conditions. That's a protip for anyone going to a chain store with untrained employees😂😂😂

Try Christmas Moss. I take a wood skewer and dust off any particles that drift onto the Christmas Moss. I saw a neat mound of Moss mounted on a tall Rock that reached up out of the water column. It was only a little brown up at the very top that was sticking up out of the water....the rest was a healthy green. The pet store associate said that it was Java Moss. This mean that what was told to me when I bought some must have been Sphagnum Moss.

Shortly after some tiny white wriggly worms manifested (Detritus worms). I don't believe they manifested in my tank because of over-feeding or high ammonia/nitrite levels.

Great video! Only half way through so far, but one question. How would you go about attaching the moss to something like a stone or piece of wood or simply stop it from floating

Random question, but if possible I'd like a small bit of advice. I asked my online seller about the shrimp and they said they would be unable to sex them, how should I go about getting them since the tank I have is too small for them to breed

i had java moss and the only time i couldn't grow it was cuz of the carbon filtration I had in my tiger barb tank. so probably avoid using carbon filtration with plants or provide enough nutrients for it to grow.

I was gifted some "dead" java moss poles...those bendable things that are hung up in plastic bags on the shelf at the pet store. The gent was going to throw them away, so I said, I'd love to give them a try. Well, it has been 5 months since, but they all HAVE started sprouting again, slowly but surely!

🤣 I must be the only person who can't grow java moss. Had it attached to rocks, wood and just plonked it in. They all succumbed to black beard algae. So now I use hydrocotyle sp japan which I could only get to grow at 1st in a terrainium. However, now that it's taken off have it in all 3 aquariums much like you do with the java moss. However, with hydrocotyle you just have to shape it with your hands and train tendrils not to grow through one's sponges and filtration 🤣

I have terrible luck with moss, green hair algae just takes over. I had no problem with green hair algae, it was all gone then some moss I had left in the tank started to come back a little - now its turning into a clump of algae and spreading it around the tank.
@FishKeepingAnswers
@FishKeepingAnswers Год назад
Algae can be a real pain. I would say don’t give up, just keep removing it where you see it and consider reducing the number of hours your lights are on for each day. 6 to 8 hours is usually sufficient for plants. Anything over that can definitely benefit the algae.

Does it have to be Java moss or can it be any moss? What about Taiwan moss, weeping moss, or Christmas moss?

So, different mosses may have different requirements. I only grow Java Moss as I am not much of an aquascaper. As such, I’m not the best person to answer. Sorry 😞
@cattfishing

I grow all of these, and tbh, I don't really see any difference between the rate of growth compared to Java moss. Of course their appearance, and direction of growth is different, but as far as the ease of growth and the speed, seems to be very similar. If I had to choose any of those or Java moss, I would definitely go with any or all of those, as I like the way the grow and look a bit more than Java. But really, I love them all and enjoy the look having all the different mosses together in a tank. I will say, although I've had my run ins with hair algae with all of them here and there. Christmas moss, and weeping moss seem to get it the most of all my mosses. So, to answer your question, finally, lol. It doesn't have to be Java moss, and you can just choose the more readily available to you or which ever you prefer the look of. You will find many differing opinions on mosses, so it will help to research several opinions, and read any info on each moss, then go from there to help you decide what you think will best suit your needs and wants. Regardless, you will never go wrong with the addition of any mosses to your tanks. Mosses have to be my favorite thing to grow.

I would suggest just leave it after you think it has died and see if it comes back. Java Moss is often sold after being grown out of water. It takes time to convert to life underwater, and that converting means it goes through a 'dead' stage. Once you are 100% certain the moss is dead, leave it for 4 more weeks before removing it. I bet it starts to show signs of coming back to life
