Brightest Densest Greenest Moss

[jonathandowers]

Question for those moss-aholics: What's the brightest densest (smallest) greenest moss?

I've been looking at Taiwan Moss, Miniature Taiwan Moss (which isn't truly aquatic?), and nano/mini moss.

This will be for a well lit nano setup.

Hi....I think it's down to personal choice as to what is the brightest, greenest species, as some enthusiasts will induce C02 which presents a better environment for the associated moss, hence a more natural substancial looking plant. Although most mosses ( Java) can be stunning in a low tech no C02 tank setup.

Mini pellia/coral moss-Riccardia chamedryfolia is beautiful but slow to grow without C02.

Another fave is Vesicularia montagnei or Dubyana (Christmas moss) .....or Fissidens Fontanus...

That's my pennies worth....

How does the Christmas moss compare to Taiwan moss? I've heard they're pretty much the same, the latter being much softer on the hand.
