I used to wash samples of moss under running tap water - like this.
00:42 A more effective way is to put the sample in a jar.
Add some tap water.
Close the jar with a lid.
Shake the jar.
Drain the dirty water from the jar.
Add clean tap water.
Close the jar and shake it.
Repeat it as many times as it takes to get the moss clean.
Washing moss in a jar takes less time and reduces water waste greatly compared to washing moss under running water.
Thank you Rhiannan Thomas!

Cover the jar to reduce evaporation.
01:49 Previously, I kept samples of this land moss on a windowsill, exposed to direct sunlight, before moving them to an aquarium with fish.
It also grows without direct sunlight.
Atmospheric air gets trapped initially.
With enough light, those bubbles will be replaced by oxygen produced by the moss.
April 28th, 2018
02:12 I keep new samples of moss at least a week underwater, checking daily for bad odor and/ or discoloration - signs of spoiled samples.
This sample seems to be fine.
I am going to anchor this moss.
In this example, I wrap the moss around a rock.
Secure it with cotton sewing thread or fishing line.
I keep the anchored moss underwater in the same nursery, ready for use in aquariums • 3D Nano Aquarium
Have fun and happy aquariums :)

Michael Langerman Thanks for the video, loved it!
I think you can keep great aquariums and paludadiums in Brazil? All the plants you need are around you in the nature, or im wrong?
You can even grow a vegetable garden with your aquarium...
I been using this moss and my betta fish loved them and the water stays immaculate for a longer period of time, I am also been see the older fish more happy with more energy in the way the swim🦈
Live plants and mosses serve great for all type of fish for sure!
All the best!
I've been growing a sample of land moss underwater since December when I saw your video. Over time I trimmed back the land growth and only kept the new aquatic growth. Currently I have the mass of only aquatic growth in a mason jar and I change the water when it gets dirty looking. It looks like a giant ball of green string. I've also noticed that some of the moss strings have started branching which I did not observe prior.
I really love your videos so much! Very creative! I am glad that someone looks the nature in a different way.
Thank you very much!!

Thanks for the video! But I’m trying to create an aquatic ecosystem and I wondered if it would be possible if I just used this moss and aquatic species would begin o appear even without actually adding them. What do you think? Would it be successful or possible? Or would I need actual aquatic plants?
It is possible and doable to make aquatic ecosystem with land moss growing underwater.
Though, I prefer to use two or more different types of plants (fast and slow growing) in my setups along with land plants growing with roots in water. This is so far the most successful sustainable aquarium gardens (aquatic ecosystem if you whish) I was able to create and keep on going for years. You can see examples on this playlist: ua-cam.com/video/upCNuWFQWeA/v-deo.html

Thank you very much!
More will come as I learn ;)
u cover the jar it not need air? i open the cover of plastic bowl it makes difference? & what about smell first it has bad smell after sometime bad smell disapper yes?
Thank you for the question!
Indeed, I cove the jar, but it is not sealed. The air still gets access in and out of the jar. I do it in this way to reduce water evaporation. It makes a big difference for the matter of how often you will need to add water into the jar. In this regards you may want to check videos on this playlist: ua-cam.com/video/M30JoD5anmI/v-deo.html
The bad smell is one of the first signs of something getting spoiled. Usually I wash again thoroughly smelly sample of moss to prevent rotting. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Check this video for details: ua-cam.com/video/DWWGfuozMUk/v-deo.html
All the best!
Is there moss found in the wild that can be toxic for fish? (Specifically betta and tetras)
Most plants on our planet are toxic in one way or another to people. As for the fish...well, there is hardly any studies done about it. So, you can be the first one to learn about it ;)
My guppies are fine with moss shown in this video.
Some of my friends have similar moss growing in aquariums with gold fish.
I have a question how long after the instalation of the small aquarium you put fish?
Thank you for the question!
It depends...I've done it from 1 week to about 6 months period, but usually it's about 1 month.
I setup aquariums in advance and usually have 2-3 are ready for any emergency.
Look through videos on this playlist to see exact time and what and how I set up aquariums: ua-cam.com/video/bwGmmWMlRCw/v-deo.html

Thank you very much!
Hello Michael! I live right next to a small creek, in that creek there is some plants that looks almost like guppy grass! I have taken home some samples a couple of times but ive always also got some parasites and larvaes whith them to, even though iI clean them heavily, and i dont really want all thease things again in my aquarium. Do you know any way to get rid of all parasites and such stuff from those plants. I really want to keep them!
maybe some sort of killer to dose the water, petstores or aquairum stores may sell something like that.
Thx what do you think it costs
You could always try a bleach dip or quarantine new plants for a while and remove any insect larva or snails you see.
For the bleach solution, Mix 1 part bleach to 19 parts water, this creates a 5% bleach solution. Only let it soak for a few minutes bleach is strong. Thoroughly rinse after the soak.
There are many stipulations, be sure to read over this link before trying.
www.aquariumplants.com/Articles.asp?ID=267
Also be sure to read this link on bleach safety.
www.msdsonline.com/2014/02/12/bleach-sodium-hypochlorite-safety-tips-bleach-safety-instruction/
Remember to always be careful when working with bleach it is a chemical and should be treated as one.
This works well when buying plants or collecting them from nature. It kills parasites, snail eggs, and algae.
Hope this helps
Rose
Thank you for the question!
The way I go about such thing is...I described it in couple videos, this one: ua-cam.com/video/5v6OelF1oeU/v-deo.html There is bullet prove way to do it at home. Get the cleanest sample possible. Keep it in separate nursery aquarium. Change water, remove all critter you may see for couple weeks or so. Then add some unwanted fish or whatever aquatic pets you keep to see how they react. Keep and possibly breed them in this separated aquarium. If they survive and breed without problem, then you know that the sample is clean and safe - though, there is always a chance of something hibernating and etc.
All the best!
Pesticides and such may help...but never 100% success without hurting the thing you may want to keep.
I saw javamoss in the fish store today.. almost €9.- for 1 piece.... this video helped
Thank you
Careful with the glass jar! I had one break in my hand and cut the tendons, nerve and an artery in my right middle finger! I am an artist, this truly a nightmarefor me. Luckly I didn't lose the finger but my left hand is now stronger than my right so please be careful ♡
Thank you for the warning.
Its crazy what can get you killed if not treated
I have bunch of whatever moss on my trees. I just bought a 10g tank with no plants in it. So, you suggest to harvest moss, rinse it in a jar, keep it in a jar for one week, then if everything is ok, tie it to a rock and put it in my fish tank?
It is one way you can do it. Though, I would give moss a couple weeks or more before moving it in the main aquarium. Attaching moss to a rock, driftwood or anything else is a good option in aquariums with water flow or in aquariums with newts and such- just to keep it in place. I often let it move around
@@4me Ok, thanks i will do 2 weeks, then if everything is ok, i will just harvest more from trees and attach it. Thanks!
Have fun and happy aquarium!@@jkim3323
Hi,
So about 11days passed. Moss are doing fine but they don't grow at all. I have about a palm size moss in a container and also put a quarter size moss in the fish tank directly from day1.
They are not dying but they are not growing at all. Other plants grew few CMs but moss is the same. I don't think it will help any way in form if they are not growing. I am thinking of using different plants for this matter.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
It's normal for mosses and any other plants to go slower during adaption period or when the season changes. It may grow faster when days get longer (more light promotes growth).
Using different plants is beneficial for aquariums. I always put at least two different types of aquatic plants in my aquariums. One is fast growing and one is slow growing. And I keep terrestrial plants growing with roots in my aquariums. Plants do very well filtering nutrition dissolved in water.
can I use the moss for my breeding tank?
You can use moss for any tank you want!
xhellboundx can I use it as a nest for fishes?😂
Thank you for the question!
Yes you can. As a matter of fact, I initially test all new things (including moss, plants, critters and etc. brought from wild or from pet store) in breeding tanks or in tanks with newborn fish. It is the safest way to check everything new without compromising your main aquarium.
All the best!
Your fish would love it ;)
Yaa
How long does this type moss tend to last in aquariums?
For as long as you want - it grows continuously all year around.
Michael Langerman how do you trim it?
@@4me Nice! Thanks for the info
@@kimjerue6599 I cut it with scissors.
Will any land moss work? Or is it a specific species of moss?
There are many thousands different types of mosses. I tried less than a dozen so far. Some do not grow at all, some grow slow, some grow fast, some stay alive for almost an year without growing any noticeably. Check videos on this playlist for all mosses that grow in my aquariums (more coming ;) ua-cam.com/video/5zJN7hyjzhY/v-deo.html
All the best!
So will the moss grow through out a tanks floor
Eyes Eyes no. Moss does not have roots.
O some video can u make a video how to leave earthworm in aquarium
Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/U7x5fw6-vSM/v-deo.html

I may
What do you think, is it moss good for aquarium and why?
Live moss growing in aquariums is good in the same way any aquatic mosses and plants are. It serves as hiding place for small fish, as food for fish and critters, it helps to keep water clean (by consuming dissolved in water waste), esthetic purpose, and etc.
And it is available locally everywhere people live - basically free discovery adventure for everyone in the hobby.
@@4me thank you very much, will try it for sure.
@@RaceSmokie All the best on your adventure!

Sir can u talk about some land moss (surviving the underwater test) species which is common in India.
I encounter mosquito egg problem, on the positive side ill just farm mosquito larva instead, for betta and guppy
Mosquitos lay eggs only if they can get access to the water surface. So, you can reduce this problem greatly by covering your aquariums. I use planters on top of the aquariums to reduce water evaporation and etc.
Flying insects are not on my farming for feeding fish list or critters :)
@@4me im now putting mosquito net at the top.
@@reymartbara2206 That should prevent mosquitos from laying eggs. You will still have to add water rather frequently - that is not a big problem if you have 1-2 aquariums. With a dozen aquariums or so as I have - planters is the way to go to tackle water evaporation and mosquitos ;)
Mosquitos like to lay their eggs in standing water. You can put an air line into the jar to circulate the water. It doesn't need to be full blast, like a few bubbles per second.
Can we grow it in goldfish’s tank
?
Yes. Also, goldfish may feed on it ;)
Dose Moss need a certain kind of light to grow?
Natural sunlight works really well in my settings.

Hello? I just found this and would love to try it in my aquarium. I don't know what kind of moss I picked up but hopefully they do well... one looks more like that one in the jar you washed, and one was smoother in appearance and feels like velvet to the touch. They're in separate jars at the moment. How long do I keep them in a jar for before placing them in the tank? Thank you.
Oh I just saw, a week... So nervous.
@@fs4538 :)
It's actually better to give the moss more time...hmm...until you see new growings. And the experience could be different based on many factors.
I have more videos about growing land mosses underwater on this playlist: ua-cam.com/video/bK_gJD6lPIg/v-deo.html
There are two videos that I would recommend to check the most.

Did any moss come from Arizona
I tried mosses from New York and Vermont only so far.
My moss died off :( I guess its a different type of moss that can not live under water.
How long did it take for your sample to die?

While shaking the moss you could turn off the water and you would have saved a lot more water

You can see them all on this playlist: ua-cam.com/video/LRCmEXrh58s/v-deo.html
How long it lives in under water?
Moss grow underwater continuously all year around, year after year. As all alive the old bottom parts eventually die out giving space to the new growth on the top. Or you can simply remove/trim off the bottom parts before it dies.
Is this moss still alive?
Yes.
Though, the moss has been growing in different - new nurseries.

translate.google.com: Land Moss для обновления аквариума Слова благодарности Рианнану Томасу за то, что он заботился и делился со мной на первой рыбалке! Спасибо, Рианнан Томас! Среди прочего, Рианнан Томас поделился более эффективным способом мытья мха, чем тот, который я использовал ранее. 22 апреля 2018 г. Я собираю образец наземного мха. Червь приходит в качестве бонуса, чтобы кормить мою рыбу. Я имел обыкновение мыть образцы мха под струей водопроводной воды - вот так. Более эффективный способ - положить образец в банку. Добавьте немного водопроводной воды. Закройте банку с крышкой. Встряхните банку. Слейте грязную воду из банки. Добавьте чистую водопроводную воду. Закройте банку и встряхните ее. Повторите это столько раз, сколько нужно, чтобы очистить мох. Мытье мха в банке занимает меньше времени и значительно сокращает расход воды по сравнению с мытьем мха под струей воды. Спасибо, Рианнан Томас! В моем предыдущем видео «Land Moss for Aquarium» я попросил помочь идентифицировать этот мох. Слова благодарности UA-camr Thānh Nguyễn Vĩnh за то, что этот мох был идентифицирован как acgi или Plagomnium acutum! Спасибо Тхань Нгуен Вон! Положите чистый мох в банку. Заполните его дехлорированной водой. Накройте банку, чтобы уменьшить испарение. Раньше я держал образцы этого наземного мха на подоконнике, под прямыми солнечными лучами, прежде чем перенести их в аквариум с рыбками. Он также растет без прямых солнечных лучей. Первоначально атмосферный воздух попадает в ловушку. При достаточном освещении эти пузырьки будут заменены кислородом, производимым мхом. 28 апреля 2018 г. Я держу новые образцы мха не менее недели под водой, ежедневно проверяя наличие неприятного запаха и / или обесцвечивания - признаков испорченных образцов. Этот образец, кажется, в порядке. Я собираюсь закрепить этот мох. В этом примере я обертываю мох вокруг камня. Закрепите его с помощью хлопковой швейной нитки или лески. Я держу якорь под водой в той же детской комнате, готовый к использованию в аквариумах. Веселых и счастливых аквариумов :)
