Jacob, I've watched tonnes of your vids n you're a really cool cat. Easy to listen to and don't speak any bullshit (which is rare on YT). Thankyou for your great content. You have helped me so much. Bloody legend. 👊
Hi Jacob.. Thanks for this video!!!! Everyone told me that java moss is the easiest plant to grow.. But not for my case, i am still a beginner and i have glued them onto the stone surface... Just a little as long they are attached.. But after 4 days.. I am seeing them turning into brownish green.. I am not sure whats wrong.. I have medium light on.. Temperature is around 26 to 29 degree celcius.. I have my filter on too.. Air pump will be on when the lights it's off... I guess i might make some mistakes, i remember taking a bunch of java moss and stick it together without spreading them.. Was it too dense that causes them to turn the way it is? I have already remove those brownish green leaves and replace them with a smaller sectiom of java moss.. Instead of sticking i tied them to the stone.. Hopefully they will grow happily hahahaha Thanks in advance would really appreciate it if u would answer my question ahhahaha
Great video, I've always wanted to have some moss covering my drift wood, especially some willow moss. I was surprised when u said java grows compact, I always thought it grew crazy allover everything.
I have flame moss that has grown really tall, but it isn't very dense and now the bottom is browning, while the top is green. What should I do to prevent the browning and cause denser growth?
I am getting ready to set up my new tank, which I want to try and aquascape. In one of the tutorials I was watching, they said that it is best to use darker colours in the back of the tank and lighter ones up front, to create depth. - I would like to have a moss wall as the background, and I was wondering what is a beginner-friendly moss that is a darker green that I could use?
Jacob, few days ago I bought my first tank and I became quite obsessed about it. I'm so happy I found YOU to cope with all the questions I have with my aquarium, thank you so much!
Hi i have a few plant in my fish tank i have then in pots as i like the fact i can control how big the plants grow and if i get bored of how my tank looks i can move them about, i want to put moss onto the pots to give a new look. I dont know what moss to buy or how to attach it. The plant pot are aquarium pot with lots of holes in them, any advice would be good. thanks :)
+Emily Faith Astin, I have also just watched one of you videos on CO2 .... Super confused on that subject so any advice on that would be good, after watching the video i though oh god do i need a CO2 diffuser ? and if so why my tank has being doing fine. Really i just have no clue on the subject at all... anyway i look forward to hearing from you Jacob :)
I think I might need to treat my tank with aquarium salt as my betta is suffering from a mild case of fin rot. How well do you think my Christmas moss will handle it? any help would be great.
I just came back from a pet store bought some stuff including helmet snail and moss. I am not so sure whether it's jsva or christmass moss but i think java moss is what most aquatic pet shop sell. And my betta, just like cat, curious curious curious
I thought that if I put Moss on to a stone in my tank, it would spread across the sand. Thanks for correcting my thought pattern. In your opinion which Moss has the shortest length.
Will moss spread over the entire tank eventually? I'd like to have some java moss in select places throughout my tank, namely on the substrate floor. But i'm worried it'll spread over the rocks and get out of control.
I love mosses but have a problem with Riccia that has mutated into that stringy form and grows with the Java moss. If there is a way to get rid or remove it from the moss, let me know!
There are some mosses which are a little finicky like fissidens fontanus. If its in low light, it tends to get really dark, drab, green and doesn't grow well. And in higher light without co2, algae clings to it like fuzz on velcro. I feel mosses never look as good as they do in pictures if there isn't high light and co2.
ChinAMAPutatoDragun My moss looked really nice with light green texture giving a tree like effect on the driftwood which I never intended to happen.. but when one of the lights went off.. it turned out to be medium light and the moss slowly is turning brown on some areas.. I agree with u..
Moss can grow at incredible rate and may need trimmed often. Also will spread really easy. So if a piece gets away it can and will start growing where ever it goes. If you let it go the moss can overtake a whole tank. But if you stay on top of it you can do a lot with it.
Do you think java, and Flame moss will grow with Finniex 24/7 lighting? of course proper dosing and tied to drift wood? I run my lighting on max about 7 hours a day 75 gal and a 55 gal tank
so I have an old tele phone pole that we cut up to put around our fire pit and is growing red moss out of it's wrinkles. so wondering if you wanted some?
Hello, I love your TH-cam channel and thought that you may be able to answer this question I have, and haven't been able to figure out. So I have a 55 gallon tank with a Coralife T5 HO quad fixture, with a Co2 system! I bought a few bunches on Rotala Rotundifolia at my LFS about a year ago and it has grown quite large and spread. But it has turned from a beautiful Reddish Orange, to totally green. I've been dosing 5ml of Iron once a week, but that hasn't really been helping, so just wasn't sure what you would do to fix that problem!! I would really appreciate the help. -Matthew Dyer
I noticed willow moss do not like flourish excel. every time i get a portion of willow moss I've kept it in different water parameters and it had only worked when i was dosing nutrients and gas co2. and not that much bright light. that's my experience with it.
I went to Vietnam recently and got some Thailand Moss at an Aguascape shop in Saigon. Have you heard about that moss? I still haven't grown much of it so it's too early for me to say anything about it.
Instead of tying moss to wire mesh, would the craft plastic mesh you can purchase from a craft supply store like hobby lobby, michaels and joann's work? They have a fine mesh, not sure but I think it's in the neighborhood of 14 holes per square inch. Love all your videos!
So I hope you read this. But if I just grab some moss from my garden and tie it to my rock, it would cover the rock after some time or am I wrong with that
I got java moss years ago but I remember the color was pretty bright green, and i never got it back to that color, its dark green instead, i always wondered what can cause this (i have liquid fertilizer and normal bulbs >6500 kelvin. I wonder if they just need a diferent light)
i have java moss growing in my 5 gallon betta tank with no nutrients and it is going mad but in my main tank with nutrients i have to trim it every week or it takes over my tank
My Goldfish demolished my anubias (all new leaves) and java fern. I personally haven't found any live plant that will "survive" goldfish.... but you can grow plants in a separate tank to feed the goldfish, that's what I do. I have great plants and the fish get treats without me losing everything at once.
meteorite121 Fishing Line, Thread or ADA dissolving thread. Lots of stuff will work just fine. Nothing with color or dyes though. Thanks for watching :)
I mention about contest give a way on your live show and you said no. Can't believe you changed your mind. Plus it's a raffle every week. That is crazy.. in a good way. Missed your last two live show cause I've been so busy. I'll have to tune in again. Glade you changed your mind. Keep these great videos coming.
@@MrJacobCastro I got my plants today and everything is very healthy and robust. I liked the packaging method of having air in the sealed bag to give it some room to not get crushed. brilliant. thank you! I'll be back, Angela

Jacob the Moss Boss
Will Java moss tied to plastic mesh or plastic trees grow?
Jacob, I've watched tonnes of your vids n you're a really cool cat. Easy to listen to and don't speak any bullshit (which is rare on YT).

Do you think java moss will go well with betta?
Great. Love a free plant and much respect Jacob. 29 gallon here.
Which nutrient type do you use for moss growth ?
Re-visited this vid.....still the best
What is the best way to grow weeping moss, with rich green color. How many hours of light is recommended?
Great video, I've always wanted to have some moss covering my drift wood, especially some willow moss. I was surprised when u said java grows compact, I always thought it grew crazy allover everything.
I have flame moss that has grown really tall, but it isn't very dense and now the bottom is browning, while the top is green. What should I do to prevent the browning and cause denser growth?
I never really thought of putting moss into my tanks, but now I am starting to have ideas. flame moss looks pretty cool.
I am getting ready to set up my new tank, which I want to try and aquascape. In one of the tutorials I was watching, they said that it is best to use darker colours in the back of the tank and lighter ones up front, to create depth. - I would like to have a moss wall as the background, and I was wondering what is a beginner-friendly moss that is a darker green that I could use?
Jacob, few days ago I bought my first tank and I became quite obsessed about it. I'm so happy I found YOU to cope with all the questions I have with my aquarium, thank you so much!
Hi Jacob. Can I super glue moss on drift wood submerged under water or do I have to drain the tank?
Awesome video as always, do you recommend a daily ferts dose or just weekly? I do it every other day, it it ok?
If I have a lowtech tank and want to have a moss variety of my gravel substrate can I get that to work without it going everywhere?
How long for Christmas Moss to grow or propagated after attached on drift wood?

Thanx for the information on Java moss.
Hey bro I like your videos , and I need some moss for my new layout I will be ordering soon !

I kept with arowana and parrots,is it a bad idea?
I have small pea size gravel and Dalmatian mollies. I’d like to plant something live with out having to dirt my tank. Any suggestions?
Hello, I'm planning to put it on my sump. will that work?
Will moss spread over the entire tank eventually? I'd like to have some java moss in select places throughout my tank, namely on the substrate floor. But i'm worried it'll spread over the rocks and get out of control.
I love java moss :) its impossible to kill
My aquarium temperature is more than 27 degree Celsius..so is it helpful for moss to grow??

Fissident: Côol water n low light 24 a day is the secret
What is the plant shown at 2:32 labeled (coming soon NFS)?

Can I grow moss plants with Gouramis ??
Do you think java, and Flame moss will grow with Finniex 24/7 lighting? of course proper dosing and tied to drift wood? I run my lighting on max about 7 hours a day 75 gal and a 55 gal tank
definitely
C Dee aquarium co op left it in a bucket with no light for a month. It would thrive with your tank.
so I have an old tele phone pole that we cut up to put around our fire pit and is growing red moss out of it's wrinkles. so wondering if you wanted some?
I learnt so much about my plants from your channel, thank you. Anyhow, my moss are turning brown and looks like its dying, any idea?

It might need red light. LED or blue lights make it turn green usually.
love you jacob🐢🐢💜💜
Thanks for watching! :)
Can we keep moss with a fire mouth cichlids or a Raphael catfish?
If they are on the mesh will they expand?
Is it okay to keep Java Moss with Anglefish? (They are still small.)
Yeah they should be fine
I noticed willow moss do not like flourish excel. every time i get a portion of willow moss I've kept it in different water parameters and it had only worked when i was dosing nutrients and gas co2. and not that much bright light. that's my experience with it.
Great Idea! Good to see the vids gaining more popularity!
Anchor moss is the fastest growing moss I have ever had. It's insane. Looks like a cross between christmas moss and java moss.
what happens if you don't tie java moss too anything?will it grow like willow moss?
I think my java moss has mold. What can I do to fix the problem? Get back to me when you can thank you.
Do you sell flame moss?
Wow, that's so awesome that you're doing contests!! Your videos are awesome!!
I have that same shirt, but also your lighting game is on point. LOL i just subbed to your channel after hours of watching your videos.
Thanks for putting out great vids! Keep up the great work!
Do you ship products to Canada?
I cannot find the name of my moss plant?? Can u help me by seeing its picture
My guppy’s LOVE it.😍
Can flame moss be used as a carpet plant?
Does the stainless steel mesh affect shrimp at all?
I went to Vietnam recently and got some Thailand Moss at an Aguascape shop in Saigon. Have you heard about that moss?
I still haven't grown much of it so it's too early for me to say anything about it.
Interested in buying Christmas moss from your site and several other plants but you are out of stock with everything you carry.
rocko112camaro I just had a black Friday sale.....
@@MrJacobCastro No problems will check out your site again in a few weeks.
is there anything like that for goldfishes. too that can grow. like. moss. so goldfishes dont eat it

plastic works better. Micheals has it
you can hide a rock in the center of the grid. and then I just sewed the moss over the top.
Could you do a plant guide for Vals
So I hope you read this. But if I just grab some moss from my garden and tie it to my rock, it would cover the rock after some time or am I wrong with that
What type(s) of moss will grow well in 80-85 degree water?
+Brett White
Java
I got java moss years ago but I remember the color was pretty bright green, and i never got it back to that color, its dark green instead, i always wondered what can cause this (i have liquid fertilizer and normal bulbs >6500 kelvin. I wonder if they just need a diferent light)
Do you know how to make a moss ball?
i have java moss growing in my 5 gallon betta tank with no nutrients and it is going mad but in my main tank with nutrients i have to trim it every week or it takes over my tank
Any ideas on what to do for keeping plants with goldfish? They decimate everything I put in the tank!
Karen Fraser Hey ! I have Goldfish and they do great with Anubias and Java Ferns.

Informative. Thank you.
Great Video... You do a good job in your videos Jacob.
so those pics at 3:16 and 3:20.. what is that grqss-like plant on the substrait?
Looks like dwarf sagittaria
i love MOSS!!!
Can I use super glue gel to anchor my java moss?
Most fishkeepers do use super glue to keep mosses and plants in place
what kind of metal net is that? the one were they are growing?
nevermind
does Christmas moss grow faster under highlight or they grows better under low / medium light ?
Medium light
Niick Nicholas I ve the same question..
What is the plant at 2:31. I think i have this but it is tall. Thank you
holly worden looks like pogostemon helferi
Hey man do you sell Moss Balls?
Out of the 22,000 species or whatever of moss , what species grow's the fastest on yards ?.
Cool an thank you for the awesome work.
What do you use to tie the moss to something?
meteorite121 Fishing Line, Thread or ADA dissolving thread. Lots of stuff will work just fine. Nothing with color or dyes though. Thanks for watching :)
