Hello. Great video. But I would like to ask for advice. I have just 12 litres aquarium (please don´t ask reason why so small ... :D) and I am seeking for plants which won´t grow out of water. First 5cm will be substrate and gravel layer. Then next 14-14, 5 cm will be filled with water. I want to put there some roots or wood to place there some moss. But there are so many types of moss like: peacock moss, spiky moss, taiwan moss, vesicularia dubyana mini christmas, flame moss, erect moss, vesicularia creeping moss, stringy moss, java moss and christmas moss. So my main dilemma is wich one or two mosses to pick (choose) and plant. Thanks in advance for advice! ;-)

I have a question. Can you freeze a batch of Java moss or flame moss in the freezer and later on one day place it in a warm tank, will it live?

I been told that people with outdoor ponds Java had survived a frozen pond

May I ask you for advice? How do you remove surplus of glue when sticking mosses onto the wood/stone? Some unpleasant white stains remain there and altough invitalshop advises to use razor for me it is rather impossible as the wood is placed in aquarium and brushing it with razor might move it and also some plants around it in the gravel :-/
