Java Moss Concerns

[Clanjones]

I have a lot of java moss in my tank. Apparently it can survive freezing temperatures and can reproduce from tiny bits of moss. I am concerned that tiny moss bits sucked up in water changes might introduce java moss into local waterways. I don't want to harm native frogs and other animals by introducing nonnative species. What can I do to prevent java moss from escaping and becoming invasive?

Other than boiling the water before your dispose of it, there's not much you can do. But with the small amounts that may get sucked up, I don't think you'll have much to worry about.
