Next best substrate to live moss

[Hoppity100]

Hi, to anyone with FBT's I have some questions: I can't locate a store that sells live moss so I am using eco earth fiber substrate. I have read conflicting stories about whether or not this substrate is ok for FB's. I know they can swallow small gravel by accident which is why I have smooth pebbles larger than gravel. I won't put any sand in their tank. I have the eco earth as part of their land. Their other land areas are driftwood and treehouse that are not under water. They also have a pebble shore with eco earth as part of that. So, is eco earth fiber a safe alternative to moss? Does anyone know where I can get live moss? Any other tips for making land in my aquarium? Thanks for reading my post.

I can do that except I'd like the moss sooner, thanks for letting me know.

Live Tropical Moss if you want it sooner, break out the yellow pages and start calling every garden center within about a hundred miles or so....lol seriously though, a pet store that is planted tank friendly will have java moss. i use coco fiber in my vivs. sometimes eco-earth, sometimes a brand made for hydroponics. all depends on the viv, the location of where the moss is going, ect. occasionally, you can find flower shops that have live mosses. good luck in your search

Thanks! I'll try that although your first response was funnier.

oh, you can also check out aquabid.com. there are quite a few sellers on there from the U.S. so shipping wouldn't take long at all.
