Re: different moss types

To get your moss looking its best, try squeezing out the water first. Then, take a knife and carefully make a small opening just big enough for your fingers to fit in. Gently tease the moss apart until it's flat and even, like a disk. If needed, you can tidy up the edges with a few careful cuts. Finally, place it over the rock, smoothing it out to resemble a neat, rounded shape, like a decorative topping on a Christmas treat.starzone wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 7:32 am I've been mulling over adding some moss to my 170L, but I'm stumped on where to put it. I've got a few ideas, but I'm not sure which way to go. Should I plunk it down in the centflake area, so if I get shrimp they can scavenge around in it? Or maybe it'd be better off to the left with the other plants? Or perhaps near the rocks on the right? I'm genuinely lost.
If any of you aquarium gurus happen to stumble upon this thread, I'd love some advice and guidance. I've attached a few photos of the tank (apologies for the blur!) to give you an idea of the potential spots I'm considering.
The left side's a bit barren, to be honest - it's my planted area, but it's looking a bit sparse.
The centflake area's a large, open space where my corys like to chow down.
Then there's the right side, with the rocks and hiding spots where my pleco and vampire shrimp like to hang out.
Any input would be awesome!
