Hi
I attached peacock moss to coconut shell fragments ( i removed all the husk fibre...a mistake?) with superglue blobs, all looked pretty as a lawn and thought that in time the moss would kind of attach itself with new growth, as the glue wore away. The peacock moss does not seem to show any interest in helping here as it grows away from the coconut rather than bind to it. I'm guessing this is in part due to the horizontal vs light source trade off at the bottom of the tank.
Either way the moss I have isn't performing like it I planned.
my question is: do you know the best moss that "creeps" along the bottom and actually attaches to horizontal wood / coconut shell, etc and can withstand a bit of a hoover, etc without dis attaching? Was hoping for a "trendy" moss rather than old faithful java...
cheers then!
