Yeah, let’s explore more moss and more ways we might keep it growing. I’ll be starting my first riparium in the next couple of weeks as well as a mini-terrarium.

[@SnazzyZubloids]

Check out Serpa Design. He's got a lot of great videos on ripariums.

[@Evil_Genius_888]

Mike Bircher Thanks! I’m already a subscriber to his channel. I’ve been watching his content for quite awhile now.

[@douglasragsdale2752]

I have been growing a few different terrestrial mosses immersed both in aquarium and in a jar on the window to add to the aquarium later. They tend to grow tall and lanky but depends on the species of moss

[@jeanbrooking6286]

I’m interested in more moss videos. I put moss in a jar and covered it with water. It continued to thrive. Today I’m going to collect a few different types of moss and see how they do under water.

[@ACHU9324883973]

Did it just survive or did it actually grow larger? Also what kind of moss did you use? I just started a similar kind of experiment today, so was just curious

[@GlassBoxHero]

To answer the question before watching: yes! I successfully grew some from my backyard in my guppy breeding tank. Just takes time to acclimate.

[@justinwoods1566]

Same

[@VinylUnboxings]

Hey Danny, I've read conflicting recommendation about leaving the dirt with it versus rinsing it as much as possible, do you have any thoughts on the matter?

[@GlassBoxHero]

@@VinylUnboxings clean most of the dirt off, leave some of it there for the roots, then float the moss on top of the tank for a few days until it naturally sinks, and it should transition fairly well. It would do even better if you had CO2 running.

[@VinylUnboxings]

@@GlassBoxHero Thank you!

[@captainbongwater7790]

The moss probably died on the wood because the lighting was too high. Most of the terrestrial moss I find grows well on perpetually damp soil (i.e. near streams) in the shade of tall trees, and generally stops growing where the shade cuts off. It might do better in a low-light paludarium.

[@dragfist5810]

ill try this anyway what kind of light do i need tnx

[@AQUAPLANET128]

Agreed. 👌

[@spyrit35]

I've been wondering about this question for the past 3 weeks... I wondered if it would have to be acclimated... I vote go for it

[@MontgomeryWenis]

It doesn't work if you try to acclimate it. It just drowns the area that's the wettest, and then the death spreads upward.

[@Luis-zl5cg]

Depends on the species

[@TheMindBlasters1]

It depends on the type of moss that you put in the aquarium, The temperature and ammount of light, I have used terrestral moss in my aquariums before and its been doing really well now for around 5 months.

[@Mahavegan]

I would like to share my progress here: I've been trying different types of mosses and the one that had a perfect success fully submerged after being emerged for weeks, was the Pilea Microphylla, aka Angeloweed, Artillery Plant, Joypowder plant and/or Brilhantina Moss. My mosses are absolutely huge and I don't use any CO2 or liquid fertilizers, medium light but I do use natural potting soil with aqua soil, topped with Pure-Off white Aquarium Sand.

[@endem0278]

any luck with pillow moss?

[@josiahmorris8502]

Thanks for the info really needed 😁

[@MinhasBrothers]

Would love to see an experiment that tests different terrestrial mosses. I think moss looks great and it would be awesome to have a free supply in my yard!

[@brookependergrass7684]

Yes! Definitely do the moss experiment! I was at Roaring River Fish Hatchery yesterday and noticed that there was the same moss growing in the water submerged as the moss that was above water on the cliff. They both looked like they were doing pretty well. I swear it was the same moss! I also learned recently that moss really likes acidic environments. Don’t know if that helps at all. Good luck!

[@LambChopPanda]

For the love of everything. Yes! Please go down that rabbit hole

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

A few months ago on a trip home to Kentucky and in the woods near the Creek I found an amazing amount of lush terrestrial Moss.. I brought it home I watched a few videos but I really didn't find away to keep it growing and I lost it all..so this is a subject I'm definitely interested to learn more about.. So my answer is yes on trying a CO2 and Moss experiment..👍 your setup still looks amazing!! And all the fish look like they're doing well... Thanks for sharing! 🙏🌿🐟🌱♥️

[@russellhenke9543]

Great timing I'm camping right now and was going to bring some moss home to try this.,

[@marycombs3574]

That is a awesome tank I like that the fish are at different life stages, it give it more depth, and yes to the moss test!

[@wispyspirits2158]

as a moss fanatic, id love to see more about moss in aquariums

[@krazymuncher2288]

I've had a few species of moss grow submerged for a while in a takeaway container with some seed shrimp. When they're submerged, they do tend to grow taller rather than spread out.Silvery bryum imo is common and easy to grow underwater.

[@normanrobitaille8520]

Depends on what kind of moss you’re using I’ve done it for years always worked out pretty great I have certain mosses in my tanks right now that have been in there going on 7 or 8 years

[@veenanful]

That's great to hear from you.

[@fugitivetattoo]

Have you identified your moss? A name would be helpful

[@karinecamara2226]

I have mine in a tube by itself and after a week it stinks then I change the tap water. What can I do so thi gets good so I can put in the tank?

[@Eva6904]

Yes please, do experiment, I'm doing a little bit of that myself, and would love to see your results. :)

[@stevechang9057]

Yes, I would love to see an experiment on what conditions would terrestrial moss survive inside the water. I have been successful when I use ferts

[@douglasragsdale2752]

Yes, I'm trying to see if some will acclamate right now, from the front yard. I can see new growth already but we'll see.

[@bytabort4928]

Defenetly! Go for it and Ill follow your progress with the moss. I

[@sLife_-]

Those dinosaurs freaked me.😂💚💚

[@Jeppesen76]

Terrestrial moss can live in an aquarium for awhile. But I’ve never heard about any having it more than a month or two. I’ve tried multiple times myself and it did fine for a month and then it died of.

[@socalfishhunter6360]

Yes please I’ve actually been looking for different types of moss for my aquarium I wana learn more about moss and algae

[@ajproductions4363]

You should try the moss you put in the thumbnail it’s pretty common in my area and I would like to know if I could put in a aquarium

[@DavidDL]

Very beautiful 👍

[@carterdavis2793]

You should try this expirement with 3+ species of terrestrial moss and in 2 tanks (one with CO2 and one without)

[@James_Hande]

Yes let's explore more terrestrial mosses. I remember either a KZbin video or reading that "certain" types of moss can grow under water.

[@BlackieChan21E]

Yes. Full experiment please

[@AQUAPLANET128]

Nice video 👍😀😍

[@sprocketdiver]

Lol I have a ton of moss in my natural and c02 aquariums, it all started as moss collected from the garden centre at my hardware store. It grows under the water down to 60cm and out of the water about 6cm before the wood gets too dry.

[@aqua2084]

Yes!!! Please do a moss video, it would be great!

[@CynicalJerome]

A question Ive had for a while, thank you.

[@mathildakd1]

Yeeees! Love moss and would Love to see these results

[@sharronmiller451]

I have some moss outside and wondered if you could use it.

[@RealThatBoiMVP]

Yeah man, go for it. I think we all want to know

[@faithgustafson5385]

Yes! Go down the rabbit hole with moss. I have a lot of different moss' in my are and I would love to use them in my aquarium.

[@dylanwagemans7718]

How do you clean all of your tanks?

[@deandrewpowell]

How is your betta fishes doing haven’t seen them for a while and u plan on breeding them

[@permanax_patb1472]

Yes I’m very interested!!!! All my terrestrial mosses die out over time!! I want to see if you can find one that works!!!

[@mercuryION]

It's be interesting to explore different types of moss.

[@Jon712]

So can I get moss from my garden for my aquarium?

[@barb1906]

I tried it too. Beautiful outside but no didn't work submerged. Also put some on piece of driftwood that came up just above waterline. It stayed damp with lots of lighting, it just fell apart. No co2 used

[@fishingalot247]

Just found your channel and yes please go down the rabbit hole. Am genuinely curious because I want a long lasting tank

[@FishFace2216]

Thats really nice. I pulled some moss off the side of a canal lock its usually submerged under water for the most part but locks been empty for a few days and its been out of water as this stretch of canal isn't very busy but its still really wet. Interested to see if it lives ive wedged it in the holes on a dragon rock. I know some plants struggle to adjust from land to water some don't transit some die off and then regrow as its transactioning to absorbing CO² from its roots rather than leaves as on land but this moss is used to being submerged so im hoping it takes.

[@mandyminshull2351]

Yeah sounds really interesting. Go for it

[@carterdavis2793]

I've two different types of terristrial mosses in my aquarium. One of them completely died, and the other survived for about a month before turning yellow and getting overtaken by algae

[@mistytrivett8197]

Yes please do more testing

[@carolebraswell982]

I am sooo wanting to set up an aqua-terrarium!

[@doneythomas]

I am actually trying that out right now.with several types. one week and already some of them have decayed and some are okay .. lets wait and see.

[@MarcassCarcass]

how many gallons of water are in there?

[@stickmansock]

Can I remove the black plastic border from the top of my aquarium? I was thinking of adding a glass cross piece and siliconing it to the center of the front and back panels. But will the sides be ok left alone? I’m also thinking about leaving the bottom border

[@driftless1870]

No.

[@BrodysBettas]

I just found some pincushion moss and was wondering the same thing lol

[@jerrygarciatransport2841]

Do you think you room it’s to hot and dry they’re not making it??

[@alexanderyan7084]

How do you prevent mold growth here?

[@nanoreaper5002]

Yes please do experiments are always cool

[@seanmoss6646]

Yes please try different types of moss lets see what happens

[@deadfred821]

Was I the only one expecting Scarface to be sitting at a desk with a big green trash bag in on of the aquariums?😨🤣

[@kylekevern7965]

Yes please explore it

[@deadfred821]

I believe it’s one of those moss by moss basis situation cause from what I hear, most are successful. Some are harder to acclimate than others though. But once you get it going, it can keep going. That being said; there’s plenty that won’t work. I think you’re on the right track by testing different species & seeing what works & wat doesn’t. You’re certainly the right man for this job…😏

[@shelwee]

For terrestrial moss, try a sealed Paludarium. Roots or rhizome part in the water. 'Leaves' above water

[@hodgeboys16beast29]

I love all his tanks they are so cool 😎

[@koaladude6770]

I was just curious to see if I could get moss in my fish tank. I've gathered about 5 different types of land moss and have them fully submerged in water, just waiting to see what survives and looks good until I add to my tank

[@Nathan93Baker]

Yes. Also pls do a black water tank.

[@wilmoney4619]

If you find terrestrial moss that is growing submerged in the wild and transplant it that will work. It had to do with the moss having grown to get its co2 from roots or air. Underwater already gets it from roots and an established tank will have that ready for it. Thats what I did. It worked!

[@dannywalker6872]

Quick question for all of you more experienced aquarium owners, do anubias man petite ever have runners? There's one root on my plant, and it has a really long root starting to branch into more roots that looks like a runner, but I can't tell

[@Tachical_Bichir]

2 things: 1) do a collaboration with Serpa Design 2) omg! That happened to your eyes? You get in a fight?

[@ianmulcrone3090]

Yes please on the experiment!

[@sandeepsuresh28]

I made a kokedama with land moss and submerged into my aquarium yesterday. Lets see how long it stays alive.

[@1raidsugarbabie607]

My moss does fine but i acclimate everything. But my light is on 12 hours a day on a set timer and i feed the plants too. Most of the time i find if they die off if you leave them alone and not take them out they grow back healthy in the water.

[@VinylUnboxings]

I _definitely_ think you should try to ID different mosses and see which do and don't make it

[@CynicalJerome]

I'd love for you to do that experiment

[@robertfletcher3421]

A few years ago someone did this experiment with terrestrial moss I can't find it though. It seemed to do well for a time then died. Many plants will survive flooding but depending on their DNA they won't survive underwater for long. To do the experiment you are going to need to know the sp of the moss and the climatic conditions it grows in.

[@SethShaperoHomes]

Would love to see if terrestrial moss can grow submerged.

[@eugeniovasquez3780]

Great music

[@JesseDahirKanehl]

I think the moss experiment would be cool

[@russellhenke9543]

Yes, do it based on hardiness zones

[@avalon5957]

The weed plant with all the leaves sort of looks like a Calendula or a Forget Me Not. :)

[@VerneDoran]

there's plenty of underwater moss already. perhaps you could offer a primer on the different types.

[@tonyhind6992]

Yes

[@vazzaroth]

Hey, if you want to test some moss, I live in Humboldt, CA among the redwoods. I've been REALLY curious about what kind of plants and wood we can use up here in the aquarium. I think there's some undiscovered gems. Just a hunch. Let me know if you want me to send you any moss samples I can find. I know there's 3-4 types I also want to test in a similar way but I'm just starting with all this fish and aquaculture stuff so it might take me a year or two to really get set up and have the funds to test properly.

[@dannywalker6872]

Anyone know a good ebay plant seller? I'm planning on buying some plants, and need recommendations for some galaxy pearl danios. Moss species,grasses, ferns, etc. Any advice would be great!

[@grahamosheea5592]

Yes I want to grow some

[@MegaFyren]

Yes pleas.. There is so mutch to learn.. I have moss right now i the window in Nordic Sweden.

[@danzopff8100]

Yes please DO IT!!!!!!

[@Unicornracer24]

Do the test! I believe you said one time that you live in Washington up north of where I am? I live in the Puyallup area. I would love to see if there are mosses in our area that would work either way.

[@RobertGomez-Politically-direct]

hell yes i wanna know

[@CK-gc8in]

Yes please!

[@831nightmare]

I like the song

[@lewismuldowney3342]

Do it but also see what terstial plants that can grow submerged

[@WhuchakaV]

Only moss I have kept growing was very low light and high humidity. Yes in my scorpions tank.

[@Staph_55]

We need an update on all your tanks

[@AQUAPROS]

You got it!

[@DjFiyaFrost]

it is possible to grow land moss underwater. Also great video bro.

[@simony6000]

Go in the forrest, find all kind of moss, , get some java moss, and what els you can find, the more the better. Blend it all with a little water. Add a little aquarium soil, so you get a thick mass. Take a wood root from your aquarium , and put the moss mass on it, all over. Put the wood root in a plastic bag, under a light, and in some good heat, 24 degree cencius. After 3 weeks, where you keep it moist , add it to a tank with water. The moss that lives best under water, will take over and the moss that will die, will just die.

[@AquaristBD]

Tell me something about that air conditioner 😛

[@JohnnyMacalvee-cf7et]

Yes, go down the rabbit hole. I need the moss for shrimp and shrimp breeding. Moss died in record speed.

[@Matt-du9ez]

michael langerman makes decent videos on terrestrial mosses and other things in aquariums

[@billgerard4687]

Yes, certain types will grow like Java Moss in an aquarium.

[@jennylico5126]

I want to build one for my class

[@sasharenier9900]

Yeah, why not, it might me very cool.
