I hv the same moss. IMO, it's weeping moss. Without co2 it grows thin but the moss is sloping downwards. Most weeping moss you see on Internet are in high co2 tank giving it that carpet look.

My weeping moss grows different to your pic, but maybe due to WP....

Close up of stringy moss for your comparison...

Thank you guys :) it's growing in a medium low light tank with no co2, I was just not sure as it was growing horizantally instead of weeping down. I propagated it from a driftwood mixed with weeping, Taiwan and java, and that driftwood has leaflets are smaller and weeping very nicely, maybe the t5ho is getting old.. Eshrimp popped by today to let me try his vertex illumilux and I must say I'm liking the natural lights and its shimmering effects

When was the last time you replaced the t5 bulb?

Thanks Gary, mine looks very similar to yours!

Never lol xD it's approximately 2 years old now so I guess it's lost a lot of potential growth. Can't wait to save up on the vertexs now :D

Haha! That'll help, I think they recommend new ones each 12 months. If you need to trim you moss and move some on let me know :)

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
