ship Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Nov-2004	If i have java moss, and i cut a piece from the top off, will the piece that i cut off grow into another plant? Same question with java fern. Also with those 2 plants (45g) would it matter if i had an airstone?

With java Fern, they have smaller plants that start to grow off the ends of the leaves (thats what i've experianced) so you should just pull the small plants off and have a second (or third, forth, etc. etc.) plant. Also, both are pretty easy to grow and should be fine with an airstone as long as you arn't using CO2.

When I had it growing I just let them float until they got a decent size then I tied a few together on wood or a small rock with fishing line. I always had plenty of air movement and never appeared a problem, though they can be caught up in intakes of some filters.
