Fissidens splachnobryoides
I know there has been discussion about this plant over at APC and PT, but I had to try it for myself, so I purchased some from Aquatic magic.
I bought 3 portions and he sent 4 all but one was green. They were all dried slabs of dirt with this moss attached and rooted into the dirt. I placed them into 3 different tanks.
The first being my ADA 'mini' m with a 27 watt pc and co2. The second tank is an ADA 60p, about 18 gallons with 2 Coralife T-5 double light strips at 56 total watts. The 60p also has injected co2. The third tank is a 15 gallon with one light strip as mentioned previously, and no co2.
I receive the pads of moss on Thursday and quickly placed them into the tank. As of today, with the exception of the one brown pad, they are all green and showing some growth even in the tank with no co2. Looks pretty good so far and I will post pics soon.
