Is this the fella from caudataorg?
Glad you made it if you did.

I'm planning on using sphagnum moss in my B.orentalis tank, with some Java and Christmas moss in the water.

Just make sure it hasnt got any added fertilisers (which it shoudnt)

You can buy it quite cheap in garden centres - they sell it as a base for hanging baskets

Oh and as mt FBT's are still quite young I put moss in for them to clamber on and to stop crickets drowning
