Is there any hope to have thriving Java Moss at 85 degrees F ?? :(
It's already attached to driftwood in the tank....

yes I think it should at least grow, my wife had some in her tank that we were having some heater problems with and the temps were at least 80 if not higher.
I also have my Aquarium Plants book as a reference and I will give you what it says about Vesicularia dubyana(Java Moss)
minimum C 4(F39)
optimum temps C 15-30(F59-86)
maximum C 32(F90)
so yes 85 is inside its optimum growth temps

Thanks SnakeIce, that's reassuring..
This will be my second attempt at Java Moss. Now I hope there's not too much light for them.
