Moss for nano moss tree?

FriendsNotFood · 11-07-2012, 09:35 PM

What would you guys suggest for a moss tree in a nano (just over 2 gallon) tank that will have no CO2 and medium lighting? Something that attaches nicely to wood and doesn't look super messy...Thanks!

Hi, I love willow moss, it attaches well and looks good, I also love flame moss but it only grows Upwards! I couldn't get willow moss to settle for me so ended up with Taiwan moss, and super glue!

Mini fissidens if you can get it. Regular fissidens should suffice though.

vesicularia ferriei

1+ on the fissidens also consider mini pellia(spelling)
Depends on what look your trying to achieve :0)

Thanks everybody! I will be using fissidens for "carpet" so I'd like a contrasting moss for the tree. I love mini pelia but I read that it won't do well in high temps (78+) and this is going to be a betta tank. So does that make weeping moss (vesicularia ferriei) my best bet?
