Easy way to remove hair algae from Java Moss: Get a bottle brush and simply twirl the hair algae around it, like making cotton candy. The brush will easily pull all of the hair algae out. It will take some of the moss with it, but that is no big deal - in fact, you could call it a "twofer" - remove algae and trim moss at the same time. After a few times doing this, the hair algae will not come back as strong and, eventually, you may be able to almost eradicate it altogether.

Also every time I go to the pet store and I see a cup of Java moss for sale that is 3/4 dead I convince them to sell it to me for almost nothing because the employees at the chain stores don't realize that the moss is converting from emersed growth to immersed growth in the cup. So they sell it to me for super cheap every time because they think I'm an idiot and they're making money and I bring it home and it bursts to life in my aquarium once it's in proper conditions. That's a protip for anyone going to a chain store with untrained employees😂😂😂

Try Christmas Moss. I take a wood skewer and dust off any particles that drift onto the Christmas Moss. I saw a neat mound of Moss mounted on a tall Rock that reached up out of the water column. It was only a little brown up at the very top that was sticking up out of the water....the rest was a healthy green. The pet store associate said that it was Java Moss. This mean that what was told to me when I bought some must have been Sphagnum Moss.

Grows great with no heater. Dies rapidly in heated tank

Could be true in some cases. I currently grow it in both, and it does well 👍🏻

Cool vid but I'm halfway thru and you haven't taught me anything about what to do with it when I get my tiny cup in the mail and how to take it from 40z cup to flourishing aquarium cup

IS there any way to get hair algae out of java moss? I have a clump that is starting to get "hairy" :( and I don't think the shrimp like eating that stuff. UGH.

@FishKeepingAnswers Жыл бұрын

Personally, I just cut out the sections with hair algae in and dispose of them 😞

I tied my java moss to a cholla wood piece, do you suggest this or should i take it off? it would float if I hadn't tied it down

@FishKeepingAnswers Жыл бұрын

If it looks good, just leave it tied in. It should grow well 🤞🏻

Definitely wait. Give it at least 3 MONTHS before you consider throwing it away 👍🏻

how do I propagate java moss for terrariums? should i leave it in water? if yes then how often should i change the water? if not water then how do i propagate it in a soil substrate?

@FishKeepingAnswers Жыл бұрын

Hi. I have never kept it out of water, but I suspect it will need to be kept moist/damp. I definitely would not put it in the soil. It is more likely to grow attached to rocks or wood in the terrarium.

Every time I've bought it I've tried tieing it to wood glue and each time it died and I'm using an led full spectrum.

I would suggest just leave it after you think it has died and see if it comes back. Java Moss is often sold after being grown out of water. It takes time to convert to life underwater, and that converting means it goes through a 'dead' stage. Once you are 100% certain the moss is dead, leave it for 4 more weeks before removing it. I bet it starts to show signs of coming back to life

1:30 Did I misunderstand you saying adult shrimp eat baby shrimp? Or were you talking about fish eating them

@FishKeepingAnswers Жыл бұрын

I just double checked, I was talking about adult fish eating their babies 👍🏻

tip, just never put java together with scuts ( aztecas) if you don't have enough fish to keep the population down or they will just strip the java down to just stems

I have light and java moss. Everything grows like weeds. The Java moss dies and i can't figure it out

@FishKeepingAnswers 11 ай бұрын

In my experience, most common reason is because the moss was grown out of water at the farm, then sold to stores, and on to customers before it has a chance to transition to life under water.
