moss is not fast covered plant i think. algae yes.

btw, how fast is fast in your term?

For shrimps, they only conceive after molting.

new info for me

congrats regarding your shrimp!

actually i dont know how fast is fast because i just caught interest on planted tanks a month ago.. i bought a carpet moss few weeks ago.. apparently it's christmas moss but im not sure cause it's not growing out enough yet to identify..

I also have hornwort for now.. to avoid algae bloom..

i've heard that Java moss if the fastest in low - mid lighting..
but im not sure if mine is considered as low/high/mid lighting given my aquarium size being approx 6uk gallon, 7us gallon, 35x35x25cm & lights 13watt (the kind with 1 blue bulb & white bulb) as per photo posted above..

thanks
mine is 4 us gall. my lamp 11 watt. | i change from 5 watt before this coz 5 watt is too dark for me.

As for moss, you wont be needed Co2 but to make it grow faster, u really need it.
Else you also can opt for liquid carbon much cheaper for a starter.
And you also might need fan to control the temp around 27*C

agree. esp bout the temp. ive make some mistake before when my temp bout 30C. then my moss start to turn to dark-brown. lucky i can save most of them. they start to green now

thanks for the replies & info

is liquid carbon safe for shrimps, otto & small fishes like neons, danios & cherry barbs?
my aquarium temp is always between 24.5 - 26.5C

all i can tell is tht hornwort is growing quite fast
the unknown carpet moss that seller sold to me grew about 3mm over the course of approx 3 weeks
dont know if it's considered as fast/slow..

btw, is my lighting considered as low/mid/high lighting?

aaa my guppy beranak already. im not transfer her to the 'labour room' rite now the fry in the main tank. + i donno what to feed them. try to put some old leaf to the small jar and put the water into the tank. i hope they survive.

Crush your fish food into powder form like. Throw bunch of them near to the fry area, they can survive, don't worry, I don't bother to move them into another tank also.

rite now i move them to the another tank. coz my tank got several shrimp too. i afraid they will eat it
i try ur method, ya they eat it.

thanks

my tank being attacked by snails. should i get dwarf puffer to eat them out? any other solution?

Gong Xi Fa Chai fellow brothers...

alots?if not really alots than use hand to catch it .
if really alots no choice loh, the puffer fish

so small, how to catch? lol

the snail trap using boiled cucumber

i dont know about how to check if the light is low/mid/high but i think

low < 1w /gall
mid >1w <2w /gall
high > 2w / gall

maybe others can give the accurate one include if having plant canopy etc2

the watt thingy is just a general guide.. there is also how goood is ur reflector, water clarity, tank height,distance of light to water surface,what type of colour spectrum is ur bulb(6400k,6500k,8000k,10000k?). plus i think its per''liter'' instead of ''gallon'' then again. LED is the exception- meaning the wat per liter doesnot apply to leds..

mine did not specify "K" all the info provided is in the picture provided above..
my water is about 2 inches away from the light..
the bulb- 1 white 1 blue
height approx 1ft.
mines not led. florescent i guess..
my water i'd consider very clear since i perform water change everyweek at least 1 + using filter..
