swissian Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hey guys. I was hoping that maybe you may have an insight as to what type of moss is growing in my mini pellia. I have posted elsewhere and it was suggested to be java moss... It is way too small to be java moss. I'm thinking that it maybe be mini weeping moss.

High5's Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have seen this on my mini pellia, I was thinking it's rhizoids from the mini pellia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Pull some of the un identified moss off put it on a 1x1 mesh and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissian Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have seen this on my mini pellia, I was thinking it's rhizoids from the mini pellia. That may be! I'm having a hard time finding other examples of it. Edit: Sorry, I must have been responding while you were sending your photos. It looks the exact same! Do you know if the rhizoids will eventually form the regular "leaves" of the mini pellia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I am just guessing idk for sure, maybe plant wizard Han will chime in. We are both getting the same thing from the same moss, it would be cool if it where something else but it's probably part of mini pellia.

h4n Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I dont think its from the mini pellia. Its a moss that got mixed in. None of my mini pellia clumps have that. High5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I will isolate it and grow it out see if we can get an id. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissian Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I will do the same! It would be very strange if both high5's and I have the same mini moss growing in our mini pellia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sounds like you got a great two for one deal! It looks like java moss. Java moss will grow thin and stringy in low light conditions. I would go with Countryboy's recommendation to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have a Siamese cat as well, I don't think it's java mine grows super slow and I noticed the ends are flat/squared off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissian Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah, mine is in a higher light tank too. This is extremely slow growing too. I've had the mini pellia for a long time! My "Siamese" cat was a stray and is actually a tortoiseshell point color. Her sister is grey. They may be half Siamese since they are very vocal.

High5's Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Mine is a snowshoe Siamese he is 18 pounds and never shut's up if he isn't talking to you he talks to himself. That would be cool if it's mini willow moss. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissian Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Mine is a snowshoe Siamese he is 18 pounds and never shut's up if he isn't talking to you he talks to himself. That would be cool if it's mini willow moss. Mine is only 9 pounds as is her sister. The fluffy one is only 7.5 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 It's either willow moss or Monosolenium Pellia maybe weeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
