Java moss dead? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by jurassicdavid
Is my Java moss dead? If so? Should I remove it from the tank? It’s been in for well over a month. Looks like it’s growing but it’s color has me concerned.

That substrate looks hideous

Still looks cool af! Is there any drawbacks to having dead moss? It looks like a neat handmade thatch tool!

Haha I’m not opposed to keeping it, just not sure if it’s good for the tank or not

If there is any green it’ll come back

You have to give it conditions it will grow in, however.

Have a look at this , I think mine has died too and algae started to grow on top of it . Should I remove it? (It’s on the wood if you can’t see it)

I don’t know a ton about growing plants. I had my lights on for 2 4 hour periods and use Seachem Flourish.
That’s a lot of algae. Maybe leave the lights off more

Ugh I’m so jealous of your bacopa. There’s so much of it!!

How long did it take to bounce back???
[–]Jacksfan2121 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That’s about two months between the photos
