Aquatic plants?????????

Question

I bought guppies a few weeks ago and there was a small piece of java moss that came with it. its about 4 inches now with 2 "branches"

will this eventually get bigger??? and how long will it take?? do it need to cut peices off as it gets larger to make more?

i also have some anacharis and java fern. do i need any fertalizers?

thanks

Answer 1

No fertilizers required, your fish will supply that.  The Java moss will spread quickly (without cutting it) covering most of the bottom of the tank and some decor with a thick carpet of about 3 inches thick.  If it is instead Java fern that you have they grow to about 8 inched in length and will also look nice with the guppies swimming through it.

Answer 2

you can add fertilizer to your water to help the plants grow more and give them sufficient nutrients they need, you can tie the java moss to a stone or onto a drift wood or you can just leave it there, it'll multiply on its own, without much fuzz.

Answer 3

Yes! Thats the great thing about java fern you will soon have a full tank of it!
