Drew

hahaha it aint algae im sure of it.. later i'll take a pic and show lah... i think few pages back someone posted a picture and i saw it in there..

Moss then? lol.

Hi bosses, anyone know the price of digital ph meter?

tied the leaves to driftwood or stone with fishing line gua



1) Whats the dif between US fissidens and normal fissiden?

Firstly the real name for the nick: US fissidens is fontanus fissidens. The different is on their growth patterns, size and actually many more, need to research more on that. I had thai fissidens before and its growth pattern in erected growth.

2) Does it requires very high maintanance?

For my fontanus fissidens, i tied them to driftwood and some to wiremesh. it is not high maintenance but i still learning on how to keep my tank in balance state to prevent from algeas. I do find that fissidens do grow well in well lighted place and of course if can provide a cool enviroment would be better (chiller) but for my case low budget only using one fan. Once they have grown no maintenance is required except for balancing ur tank as well as periodic water change (i did mine sometimes ones or twice a week).

3) How to grow them best? On drift wood? rocks?

Driftwood wood would be best but wiremesh is fine too. i never tried on stones before so cant answer that portions.

hope mine will jadi like this
