Local mosses?

[w h a l e b o n e]

I also found some videos of moss collected outside and rinsed well with straight tap water. And also shaken in a jar can’t remember if it was tap or dechlor in the shaking process. But he would shake it and drain and repeat until clean. Then he submerged the moss in dechlor in the jar to prepare it for an aquarium. Maybe the tap water will kill any bacteria or parasites. But as far as moss holding onto chemicals that I don’t know about but I hope the moss is breaking it down.

Was this on YouTube? If so, I would love a link. I'm really curious to see how his aquarium does long term. Still pretty sure it won't work for hermit crabs and I don't think I want to risk it plus it's not that expensive anyways, but it would be interesting to see.

These guys are submerging then in aquariums.

Just thought I’d put this here since I mentioned round up here. Although I’m more concerned about insecticides and fungicides. But anyway...


GLYPHOSATE UPDATE: EPA has concluded its regulatory review of glyphosate. EPA has concluded that there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used according to the label and that it is not a carcinogen.

Lol yeah who really knows at this point (also, I'm not trying to make this political I just thought that was funny)

FYI Duckweed is a floating aquatic plant. Almost aquarists don't want it in their tank and goes great lengths to remove it as it grows super fast and it's extremely hard to get rid of it.

I wouldn't mind having duckweed in my freshwater pool. I feel the crabs would love to destroy it! Maybe even eat some too! In a small 2.5 gallon tank it may be easy to remove monthly. It may be interesting to dehydrate and grind up as another good. Why would crabs want dried when they have fresh? Because they are weird!

I can't keep duckweed alive! I've tried in all my tanks and in my pond and it just disappears.

I can only see one duckweed in my crabitat I never saw evidence they ate it and I’m not sure if it’s getting enough light. But it was growing good while quarantined in a window.
