Re: java moss Care with bettas


Dude, Java Moss is chill but it's gotta have the right vibe. My betta tank's got it on a mesh, and it's spreading like wildfire. Maybe try moving it closer to the filter output for a bit more flow?


Mesh is a solid idea. I've used suction cups to hold mine in place. Also, trimming it ...
