I don't know about it attaching it's self. This is pillow moss from T&C terrarium something I meant to mention in the reply to one of your posts I left earlier today. The under side of it looks like it's grown on coconut husks and maybe tree fern roots. Here's what I did. On my tree fern panel I mounted rehydrated dried sphagnum moss with little u shaped pieces of wire paper clips work to. I then placed the moss on top and pinned it on with satay skewers. I push them in as far as I could and then cut them at the level of the moss. It's very secure. The moss has grown together, gotten longer, and produced little plants (see 2nd pic between the broms). As far as moss attaching to stuff and growing on it from what i've read Java is the way to go. My technic is more of an instant gratification thing.
so I need java moss you think? I just want something to attach to my coco fiber covered foam
to add to the above post...I guess I could have one moss on the backwall (need a recommendation) and I can have a solid blanket of pillow moss for flooring..
think that work?

Hey Nate, If that is your name.
You may seriously want to do a few searches for some of these FAQs. You will have the benefit of more than just one or two frogger's opinions, seriously.
There are MANY posts already pertaining to all of your questions, so far. The "come on guys, why no answer after twenty minutes" is really going to get stale quick. Not trying to be rude, but as a couple others have suggested, search , compile a few questions (or more if possible, and so far it has been possible) into one thread , instead of twenty separate threads,and have a bit a patience.
Not sure if you read Kingsnake , but the SAME EXACT FAQs being asked every-other thread is not fun.
I am of the mind that no moss is good moss, go leaf litter.
Moss is pretty but does not offer the hiding spots that leaf litter does. It is also very hard to find South American moss.

Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.

No reason to go anywhere, just expand your searches . An intro maybe?A lot of questions from someone we don't know .
And yes , it hurts to read the SAME QUESTIONS time, after, time. It hurts.
Nice looking viv Matthew.

Rich, Thanks for your compliment. It means alot. The vivariums and frogs at your's and your brothers site are quite an inspiration.
Jadedrapport, Thank your for your compliment and inquiry. I just planted a birds nest fern on the mid right hand side of the tank . Then behind that a few cuttings of the green creeping fig mixed in with the varigated already in the tank. The future I hope the c. figs. grows on the fern panel.
Once I find out the sex of my frog I will have two frogs in the viv.
My regrets are siliconing wood to the bottom of the tree fern panel which is now under soil. Also I used aquarium grade silicone to mount wood on the front and it hasn't held up. Also my broms mounted on the tree fern panel are getting too moist. Tha panel seems to really wick up moister from the substrate. I will try aquiring another piece of drift wood and mount them on it away from the panel. Any other suggestions?
Nate, I can't really give any recommendations on Java moss. I have no expierence with it I have just learned through posts I searched that it grows well and fast on many things.
Anyone, Brom tips please.
