RocRus01 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Guys, Just trying not to make my betta barracks so empty and was thinking of putting some java moss in there the idea I had was to get a Styrofoam cup, cut it in half and weave cotton in and out of the side sowing the moss on to the cup Does this sound lame, would it just sink ? Other option was to get some small plastic pots and plant the java moss on that at the bottom of the tank using pebbles to hold them down Roc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Roc, see if you can get one of those plastic loofa thinks made out of netting and cut it open, use teh netting to wrap Java moss around the stone and it will grow through nicely.

RocRus01 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ohh yeah, thats a better idea.... hmm now where to find them ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffy Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hairnets work really well for making moss stones, it holds it down and grows thru nicely. Wouldnt a Styrofoam cup just float? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Here is one I made, I used a hairnet but you only get like 4 in a packet. It's behind the betta. It has now grown in nice and lush although it is only Java moss, it was sold as peacock Edited April 18, 2011 by Matt_95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 java moss (most mosses in fact) will sit on the floor of a tank nicely without attaching it to anything........ I leave my java moss loose in my tanks that way there's no nets or string for inquisitive fish to bury their heads in and catch themselves.... if a Betta can get stuck in the hole of a plastic binder divider it can get stuck in netting or fishing line.....
