y not change to bigger tank??

Hahha.... wish can have bigger tank but my parents don't like big tanks.... so only that small little tank is allowed. Once I get enough money, maybe I can make a 3ft tank at my aunt's house hahahah.

MTS - malaysian trumpet snail. they are quite beneficial to the substrate since they dig and mix the substrate (like caing). dont eat plants too. only bad news is they're quite an eyesore hehe
even if your mosses are 'old' they should be growing at least. try to figure out the cause first.
*
Ohhh.... no wonder when I wash the substrate, I see so many.... now I see those tiny ones like 1mm to 2mm big all over the plants and tank walls.... a few ok but banyak, looks messy ahahah....

I still have no idea what kind of snails I have... well, 1 is the Malaysian Trumpet Snail... another I still have no clue.... later I post pic when I get a clear shot.

Mosses need to trim regularly, if not the bottom part will turned brown like what happened to your moss.

May be yes. May be no. Mosses growing different shapes in different water condition. If you get it from wild in (malaysia), then I roughly know what is that. But if you bought frm lfs n lfs also dont know. it is hard then. gonna send to lab to verify.

errr.... itssg, which lab you gonna send it to? Singapore? waaaa...... I think since my 2 footer is cracked, I think i go start a submersed/immersed planted tank, that's after I try fixing the crack with silicon sealant (when I actually get round to it!!) Otherwise, my other choice is to make the crack a wee bit bigger, then go plant Japanese roses in it.... lolx

Yeah, trimming the moss might be the right thing to do. Also, I learned that if you lay your mosses too thick, the bottom part will turn brown.

Geediver, which part of your tank cracked? Dont fix lar...just get a new one. The cracked tank can make it as vivarium... growing wild orchid and pitcher plants inside.
The mosses i send to some local universities lab. But not SG. I know you are thinking a forum owner in SG n helping to verify the mosses and liverworts. As I sent to him many times. He only helped me to verify 1 time only. And never send back any moss back to me as return. So...I give up. Since local lab have a link with the same professor in SG.

Michanz...The moss selling in AI could be java moss. Beside the weeping moss which require to trim most of the time. The rest of mosses, i never trim...

The plant in the 7th picture ( the one with the Otocinclus - correct me if I am wrong lying on the white rock) looks like Marsellia spp ( 4 leaf clover plant ) This genus ranges from Australia through the pacific region. If given the right conditions it can become rampant - might need trimming.
