    hi folks so since i'm on hols now i'm going to be doing some maintenace on some of my tanks which includes some trimming of my wild moss. i have a mengelmos of java and flame, could be spikey then i have some willow as well. i'm looking for some rotala indica, ludwigia aruata or anything else not readily available, i'll give away as well, share and share alike i always say. interesting crypt sp would also be appreciated or any type of carpeting plant. on a side note this is not coming out of my 1.2m but from my 70L betta setup and my 20L betta setup.

    no need too, i got this from Vis for nothing so wouldnt be right to charge folk for it now. i'll be back in pta next week and we can arrange something, pick up or drop off. my stuff has gone crazy so it really needs a trim, i already have a jar of the java spikey/flame mix. tanks changing alot again lol

    hey @Vis, huh ok my bad i thought the christmas moss and willow moss was the same thing. i'll post a pic of the moss that i'll be trimming tonight so everyone can see what i'm trimming and which ones they want.

    i do find it interesting i think its the xmas moss it becomes exposed by the end of the week as i my mom doesnt fill the tanks its something i prefer to do myself. its grown very flat and the fronds are broader and flatter, overall quite nice

    Hi @windfire,

    Do you still have any of your mosses left? I would really love to get some as I'm wanting to play a bit with a "Bonsai" tree design, and I'm struggling to find moss here on the ER. I'm prepared to pay for it as necessary.

    Please PM me either way.

    Thanks
    Kim
