Can someone help me ID these moss?

lann · 06-22-2009, 06:14 PM

I brought a piece of driftwood with 2 different type of moss on it for like 10 bucks. The moment I put it in my shrimps are already nibbling on it. Does anyone know what type of moss these are? And on the first picture you see a marimo moss ball. It doesn't seem to want to stay in a circle u_u

Sorry if the pictures aren't clear enough. The camera on my phone sux.

Don't worry about the Marimo. Mine doesn't stay round either. It has flattened out a bit. When you see pictures of perfectly round Marinos in a goblet of water or a round bowl, the owner has painstakenly turned and trimmed it to keep it in 'show' quality. It grows fine and stays healthy slightly flattened as well.

Definately Ricca and what looks to be Java.
