looking for attaching plant...
Can anyone out there point me to a plant that attaches to rocks, but is
not java moss? The java fern seems to be a bit tall for my purpose, although I do like it. Is there a compact variety? Is there any other similar plants that grow more compact? I do not want to have to artificially attach a plant like riccia fluitans. I have high light in my tank, and none of my plants seem to have any problem reaching their potential, and I'd like to retain my current light levels, so also want to avoid manipulating growth via light levels. Please reply by email, and remove "stopper" from the address... Thank you. |

have you looked into any of the anubias like the nana or coffefolia
species? Matt Hanson wrote in : Can anyone out there point me to a plant that attaches to rocks, but is not java moss? The java fern seems to be a bit tall for my purpose, although I do like it.

Anubias nana is low growing and can be attached like java fern. Java moss is
a nother possibility. There are quite a few aquatic ferns, bolbitus comes in quite a few flavors and many of them don't grow as tall as java fern. --donovan |
