How quickly does Java Moss grow? Also, if I want to use it to cover driftwood/rocks, how do I attach it? Thanks!

they grow quickly and can easily get out of hand if not kept in check with trimming.

i've always just used a length of sewing thread.

Excellent, thanks for replying. I got some on a piece of rock that had an Anubias on it, and I like it and want more. I have a pretty decent sized chunk of it in a 6 gallon, and was not sure if I should buy more and add it, or just wait for it to grow out. My baby shrimps love that stuff!

yeah, just wait. very soon, you;ll be "parting" them out!

fort myers, huh? my in-laws live there. seems pretty decent. but i really don't know. we spent far too much time at the pool to venture about when we visit.

growth is dependant upon water conditions...Some can't grow it, some grow it but its slow and some grow it and it grows fast.

As far as attaching it, I have always used brown needle thread.

Hanging out at the pool is probably the best thing you can do here in our part of Florida. It simply gets too hot. One benefit though- if you keep saltwater aquariums, you can catch your own livestock locally. At one point we had a 450 gallon marine tank completely stocked with local wildlife that was really fun. Thanks for the info on the Java Moss.
