PELLIA MOSS - AFTER BEING SUBMERGED

This is how Pellia turned out after being submerged in my tank for a while. In my previous entry, I posted about how Pellia moss grows in the wild in its emersive form. It's now looking great in the tank, but it needs more light than I previously thought in order to thrive.

You can read my previous entry about Pellia growing in the wild in emersive form here : Pellia (Monoselanium tenerum)

PELLIA (Monosolenium tenerum) ??

I'm not sure if this Pellia plant is Monosolenium tenerum or Endiviifolia, but they do look similar. I never tried to keep this in my tank, as - with the plant twisting and making it difficult to tell its topside from its underside- it can be quite hard to successfully tie on to driftwood. I did however, prove some of this type of Pellia was aquatic by keeping it in a plastic container for 2 weeks ... and it appeared to be growing nicely, sending out new shoots & spores.  These pics are of an  emersive form.
