i heard java moss and some other are good for a shrimp tank but i know that some type of plant is eligal in California because of its fast growing rate, and people stupidly have been tossing it aside and it grows in the water cloging up water pipes and things iam wondering if its the java moss thats ieligal in california or some other plant???

There are a lot of plants actually, but I don't think it is java moss. More than likely it is Hygrophilia polysperma you are thinking about.

Java Moss IS legal in CA.

List of all California Invasive Plants

i was sent some plants from a friend in singapore.

but what I got was an empty package that the us dept. of ag. opened up and confiscated. They said that the plant in question was a small fern plant, but decided to take and destroy it.

I just hope that's what itwas, otherwise, someone in the us. dept. of agric. got them one great plant.

I'm afriad to post what it was, but it was w*llow moss, which I don't think is on the IPL or blacklist of plants here in CA.

who knows. maybe someone in the dept. is also in the plant hobby?
