  • @SuperBoppy
    @SuperBoppy Před 9 měsíci +13

    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.

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😂😂😂

    Hi Richard. Do you breed live river shrimp (live in salty water). I last both fed live river shrimp and live bloodoworms to my axolotls, which were bought online. Shortly after some tiny white wriggly worms manifested (Detritus worms). I don't believe they manifested in my tank because of over-feeding or high ammonia/nitrite levels. I carry out regular water changes.

    I put java moss in my tank, but tried planting it. It kept floating, so I stuck a weighted plastic plant on top of it. It is now part of the plastic plant, but growing sprouts up thru the gravel.
    This tank is soon becoming a planted tank, with one plastic plant

      It always strikes me as funny that one person struggles when another succeeds, yet pick a different plant, shrimp or fish and the tables can easily be turned. I suppose the hobby would be dull if we were all great at every aspect of it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍🏻

Agreed there are parallels and solar opposites in this hobby, which keeps it fresh I suppose. Maybe a sprg of your java moss tried here may succeed lol

I know the water here after we moved is crap to begin with plus the landowner over chorinates his well daily and before I go full blown RO for neos think I'll go with an aireted decholination barrel and give the water a couple days to gas off before water changes. I have moderate lighting, use ferts plus dechorinator and most of my plants in general just melt away to nothing. Any advanced knowledge would be appreciated.

    I have terrible luck with moss, green hair algae just takes over. I had no problem with green hair algae, it was all gone then some moss I had left in the tank started to come back a little - now its turning into a clump of algae and spreading it around the tank.

    • @FishKeepingAnswers
      @FishKeepingAnswers  Před rokem +1

      Algae can be a real pain. I would say don’t give up, just keep removing it where you see it and consider reducing the number of hours your lights are on for each day. 6 to 8 hours is usually sufficient for plants. Anything over that can definitely benefit the algae.

    • @cattfishing
      @cattfishing Před rokem +1

      I grow all of these, and tbh, I don't really see any difference between the rate of growth compared to Java moss. Of course their appearance, and direction of growth is different, but as far as the ease of growth and the speed, seems to be very similar. If I had to choose any of those or Java moss, I would definitely go with any or all of those, as I like the way the grow and look a bit more than Java. But really, I love them all and enjoy the look having all the different mosses together in a tank. I will say, although I've had my run ins with hair algae with all of them here and there. Christmas moss, and weeping moss seem to get it the most of all my mosses. So, to answer your question, finally, lol. It doesn't have to be Java moss, and you can just choose the more readily available to you or which ever you prefer the look of. You will find many differing opinions on mosses, so it will help to research several opinions, and read any info on each moss, then go from there to help you decide what you think will best suit your needs and wants. Regardless, you will never go wrong with the addition of any mosses to your tanks. Mosses have to be my favorite thing to grow.
