Id ing moss site?

[ladyblues1965]

I am looking to id some moss I found on the white river. I have had it in my tank for several months it is growing real well . When I found it it was attached to a piece of wood .So the wood and all are in the tank. Anyone have a good site that has moss identification pics or names of mosses commonly found in the US?Or is there a moss guru here who might know?
Thanks

Have you tried www.aquamoss.net? It might have more on mosses from Asia, but there's a few North American mosses on the site.

Hope this helps.

Here are some pics . Best I could get right now. the one is of the liece of wood it is attached to. As you see I am not good with the new camera LOL
It was just the wood covered when I found it it has grown 4 inches in a couple months.

Is there a way you can take out a single strand and lay it out over a little white bowl or something similar so we can see the structure of the leaves?

There are a ton of aquatic moss species, and telling them apart is a job for an expert. Try to find a university bryologist who is willing to ID a sample for you; most experts are happy to do this sort of thing.

I finally got some better pics of the moss . I hope you can tell me what it might be I really need to trim it and get rid of some.
thanks

That looks to me like regular, old Java Moss.
