I have a 90 gallon that I got 2nd-hand complete with 3 gigantic java ferns
and some amazon sword.

I've been reading that java moss looks pretty on logs, and I was thinking
of
adding some. But many LFS (Toronto/Mississauga - Canada) don't stock it,
and one even suggested that it's a pest and pernicious weed. Should I be
rethinking my desire to introduce java moss?

I agree that it looks fabulous on a hunk of bogwood, but, in the right
conditions, it grows like wildfire. Be prepared to trim it frequently. As
far as a way to acquire it, try online retailers, or better, make a new post
in this group, or *.marketplace and beg for some! g If you're willing to
wait a couple weeks *I* could send you some, I recently removed it from all
but the 75 and keep it trimmed pretty hard. g
