Show off your Java moss !

I dont know if this has been done before or not. I did a quick search and didnt find anything.

But If people could post a picture or two of there java moss; be it attached to drift wood, tied to bamboo like mine, free floating in the water or else.

Heres mine!

I got this half-coconut shell cave---pre-covered in java moss---in the last week or two. The moss has filled-in a bit since getting it...

Wow LWB, I hope my Java Moss grows to look like yours!

I have very little at the time, but it will hopefully spread throughout the left side of my tank to form a decent carpet

One thing that helped is to dip the driftwood in a heavy Excel solution, like 10:1. Take a bucket, and put some water in it, then add the Excel. Can do anywhere from 5:1 to 10:1. This will help it a bit. It will also kill the algae that grows in it, and allows it to get more light. That's why mine is so bushy, I eliminated the algae that would block a lot of the light.
