I'm hunting for a moss for my 5 gallon nano which will eventually house a betta, so the temperature will be on the warmer side (78+). I love the look of mini pellia, but don't think it will do well due to temperature. I'd like to try something different than java moss. Can anyone recommend a distinct moss that likes to be warm?

I don't know of any moss in particular that likes warm water, but I have read that fissidens definitely prefers cooler water. Probably not a moss to go for.

78+ isn't so hot. Right now for like a month temperature in my tank is around 27 C (~80-81) and even fissidens does fine. Nothing spectacular, but it grows.

I've had erect moss (Vesicularia reticulata) grow well even in the low 80s Fahrenheit.

Java moss or weeping moss seems to do well in my tanks(80-84)

Thanks for all of the responses - this has given me a good place to start!

Java, most common and hardy. Some varieties may tolerate but not for long. moss love cool water.
