Has anyone had experience with growing java moss in the warmer temps Discus like...82 to 84?

Or...how bout 80? Not perfect for discus...but ok?

from my experiance, java moss takes some time to get itself going. it might take a while but once it takes off it grows pretty fast. i bought a log with java moss on it about 8 months ago, every piece of moss on that log died except for one verry tiny piece that i put on a piece of driftwood, now i got java moss covering the bottom of my tank and every where else. just give it some time

I wish I had patience to grow java moss.

As far as my experience goes the stuff is virtually indestructible! I have it in unheated tanks, tropical, in the paludarium -above water & below, in the discus tank.
It grows steadily just about anywhere.
Hmm, maybe I'll try to grow some in the fridge just to see...

i haven't had much luck with it in discus tanks. Plus, it catches too much debris from the frequent feedings.

Grows fine in just about anything!! I have it in my discus tank but it does collect lots of crap and food.
