I have had this moss growing on a shaded area of my lawn. And i was wondering whether it could be placed in the aquarium. It seem to be a terrestrial moss rather than aquatic!
 
Hi all,

Could be Brachythecium rutabulum (very common can grow in lawns), but it is pick a name really.

This is B. rutabulum

Probably not, although Calliergonella cuspidata is a largely terrestrial moss that does well in aquariums. I think it is the moss that grows in the "draw down" zone in my pond.
