    Java moss in Cpt

    Hi. Panorama petshop had Java moss a while back. Not the cleanest moss, but probably rinse it a few time to get the dirt out. I bought some fish around 2 weeks back so not to sure if there is any left.

    I should chuck a small tank in my garage, put a HPS lamp on it and throw some java moss in, turn on a filter and check it in a year, BOOM, kilograms :D

    Hi. Java moss is usually R20 a hand full. Put it on a piece of bog wood and its goes sky hi. R350 plus. Phone Panorama as they had a tank full a while back. Perky Pets in Bergfliet had some growing on bog wood, but sold quickly. Speak to David as he maybe able to get some more. Pets Aquaria in Somer Set has stacks of bog wood, but did not see any moss. They have some nice plants as well.
