Java
Moss is a great little plant when you first
get it but be careful
because it will try to take over and does so very
successfully. Having said that I wouldn't be without
it. It has several uses and will attach itself to rocks
and driftwood eventually forming a thick carpet of vegetation
across your substrate. Don't be afraid to prune it as it
will always recover. This is the sort of plant that fry
will love to hide in so if your fish breed there is a good
chance of a few survivors lurking in
the Java
Moss.
Heed my
warning! As
soon as Java Moss touches a piece of driftwood it will colonise
it and once it has it is almost impossible to remove.
This is a great plant but treat it with respect and keep it
under control. Not suitable for people who feel that
their maintenance may be a bit hit and miss.
