Hi, everyone,
I finally managed to log in. Hurray!! :lol: I think I must have tried a hundred times already. Many thanks to Art for activating my account.
For my first post, I like to appeal to everyone here to help me find Malesian Java Moss that has capsules. The word "Malesia" refers to the geographic area from Sumatra island in the West to Papua New Guinea in the east. It encompasses countries like Malaysia, the whole of Indonesia and the Philippines. If you live anywhere in the Malesian region, I appeal to you to take a close look at the Java Moss found in your tanks or in your local fish shops. If you can find capsules growing among them, please send a sample to me and I will, in return, send you Erect or Christmas Moss.
We have lots of Java Moss in Singapore but for some strange reason, they don't throw out capsules. Capsules are the bud-like things at the end of brown stalks. They look like commas. Capsules hold the spores which are like the seeds of flowering plants. Mosses propagate vegetatively but they can also reproduce themselves sexually through fertilization.
To confirm the true identity of the Java Moss, we need the capsules. If you can find capsules in your Java Moss, you would be doing a great service to scientific research if you send them to me. :smile: Thank you.
