Java Moss for Guppy Fry

Question

I would like to get Java moss for my newly born 12 Guppy Fry, i got a 2.5 gallon tank for them and i would like to get them some Java moss, Would i be able to get some from a local pet store? i live in North York(Toronto) btw if someone knows a store? Much appreciated.

Answer 1

john b is right and you can go to ebay and petland i dont think they have petcos and petsmarts in canada.

Answer 2

Most any pet or fish store should have some.  Even Petco and Petsmart carry it, for the most part, sometimes as "moss balls", which are merely wads of Java Moss rolled into balls.

EDIT: There are several Petsmarts in Canada, though none are very near Toronto.  There are several fairly convenient Petsmarts just south of the border, however, that are a quick drive from Toronto.

Answer 3

try petsmart or pet co. you'll need to have a good light, otherwise the java moss will turn brown and die. if a good light isn't possible, and this is kind of a stretch, you could place it near a window. however this makes your tank very easy for algae and bacteria to grow. java moss is an excellent place for guppy fry to hide, and it redeuces stress just for them knowing that they have a place to hide if they need to. good luck to your new born guppy fry, and happy breeding! : )
