Looks natural, really nice moss-tank.
Only the wallpaper is not like my taste. :)

there are quite a few different types of moss in the tank.

will they grow and mix with each other? cause separating moss that have entangled themselves together can be quite difficult.

Thanks:).

Im intending to grow a moss wall on the sides and the beckdrop as soon as i get enough of it.

No they wont, hopefully :)

Be careful with yr internal filter which might suck the shrimplet. Try to use a layer of sponge to cover it.

Hey, thanks for that:) its not really a problem though, sure it sucks shrimplets in, but they gently climb out again:)

Hi,
the tank is interestingly planted. I guess it will look great later on. But I wouldn't use a moss wall because the tank is too small. For a moss wall you need at least 5cm, better 10cm space for the wall itself. An exception would be a wall of Riccardia sp. "mini pelia". This could work well in this rather small tank.

BTW, when your taiwan moss starts to grow well, your tank will be a bit too small. The fronts get a length of 10-15cm and need a lot of space. The other mosses you used are smaller and should be no problem.

regards
Robert
