Hi, thanks for all the interest. To all those that have bought the fissidens from me, hope the moss is doing well in your tank. I would also like to take this opportunity to clarify some queries I have received.
Firstly, the growth condition:
(1)
Temperature: 26.5 - 27.5 ºC
(2)
pH: 6.2 - 6.8 (with CO2 supplement)
(3)
KH and
GH: 4 and 5 respectively
(4)
Lightings: 2.6 watt per gallon. (also thrive in shaded area in the tank albeit slower)
Note that although these are the conditions in my tank in which the fissidens is grown, I strongly believe that the moss can adapt to a much wider range of condition.
The moss can be initially tied down to driftwood, it will eventually ‘stick’ to the driftwood by means of tiny roots. The frond (leaf) will reach a length of 4 – 5 cm (1.5” – 2”). Once established, about 1-2 new frond will grow out from each of the original frond every 2 – 3 weeks. Eventually, it will form a nice bush (like the last photo)
The price is US$20 for an amount enough to cover an area of 4 inches by 3 inches (about 10 cm x 8 cm). The price is inclusive of postage (Air Mail). If you are buying 2 or more pieces, I will give you a 10% discount (that means $18 a piece).
Payment can be made to my paypal account:
cheepang_ng@hotmail.com via your paypal account or credit card. The moss will be sent to you once payment have been confirmed.
