Plant ID help please, mystery moss

greendragon · 04-26-2004, 04:27 AM

I collected this moss in a local river. It was in about 1ft of water attached to a rock. I pulled off the whole mat and took it home. It has been in my 10g grow out tank for a week and loves the co2 injection as you will see. I am running 2 20w 5000k bulbs over the tank and it is growing. I also dose K,P and ammonium sulphate (no fish or filter in the tank). If anyone can help ID the plant it will help me when I go to trade off over growth in the future.

I have no way of hosting pics so I postyed it on plant geek and linked it here

It's pearling so much that it is really hard to tell. Could you do another picture after brushing off the bubbles?

I declare it to be bubble moss!

No seriously, it's really hard to tell what it could be with all the pearling, do what opie recommended....

Looks like regular terrestrial moss to me. It can live submerged for a time but then will die off if thats what it is.
