I got some Java Moss today, and would like to see if I can have it take over the rest of the bottom of the tank where I don't have other plants, and grow up only the back of the tank, is this possible and how can I cultivate it to do this. I have several other plants that are above the bottom, and I would like to have the moss grow all around the base of the other plants, will this hurt the other plants.
 
I can't comment on the Java Moss growing on the substrate (I just don't know). However I just recently read about a technique to grow java moss on the back of your tank by stapling some to cork-board and then placing the cork on the back wall of your tank.

Maybe someone else will be more helpful.

PS Did you ever visit All Oddball Aquatics? What did you think?
 
Never been to All Oddball Aquatics (I assume that is a 'burgh fish shop) I tend to stay with fish shops that I can bike to, since my car is dead (been dead since October and I don't have the cash to fix it and even if I did, the cost to fix it is more then the car is worth)

I live & work in the Oakland section, so where is this shop if it is a shop.

Oops, mistook you for someone else from one of your previous topics. Since you asked, however, it's on the south side near Dormont (sp?). I'm new to the area so I'm just figuring out where everything is. Great shop for plants and hard to find fish.

Also sorry to everyone else for posting off-topic.
 
Cool welcome to the 'burgh. Dormont is a good place I have a friend that lives there.

I am going to go :OT: here but if you are into computers and Linux we have a Linux user group that meets at CMU (I also work at CMU) the group is http://www.wplug.org

I don't know if there is an aquarium sociaty here, if any one else knows of one please let me know.

As for fish stores there are 2 on Murry avenue, I like the one in Greenfield not the one in Squirrelhill.

(just incase you don't know how to get there, I leave the instructions here.)
get on to I279N then get off of the Squirrelhill, then as you get off you will want to take a left and that will drop you on murry to get to the pet shop I like you will want to take a right onto murry, and just park on the streat next to the Giant Eagle at the end of Murry.
