Yes java moss is good and java fern although they both ought to be grown on a rock or driftwood.



I made a fern wall in a specially slack way for my tank.

Bought a big handful of moss, spread it out against the back wall and held it there with skewers (like you eat kebabs from).

The moss grows so you can't see the sticks.

It looks good.
Reply:Cambomba is an easy plant to grow because it grows quickly and needs very little sunlight, i would only use it for a medium sized tank though as it grows quite large. but if you want to plant more of it just break off a branch and put it in the gravel Report Abuse
Reply:Along with Darryl's list, most Rotala species, Water Sprite, Hygrophila species (especially Water Wisteria), Hornwort, Pennywort (Hydrocotyle luecocephala), Banana Plant (Nymphoides aquatica), Bacopa species, Chain Sword, Dwarf Sag, and Marsilea species are all very easy to care for under standard fluorescent lighting. If you have an incandescent bulb, Java Moss and Java Fern are about all you'd be able to grow.
Reply:in my tank, i have my java fern, which is doin pretty good. but my anubias is dying. but its sposed to be hardy. and a um anacharis or somethin. lol. idk how to spell or pronounce it sorry. i no it starts wit an a an is all like bushy. ur best bet would probly be the java fern and java moss. i hope that helps.
Reply:Java moss is fine, but best tied to driftwood so it doesn't fall apart and float around your tank.
