New mosses arrived from Pro Shrimp and attached to rocks and wood, reckon it will be about six months for it to establish a good bonding growth.

The Fissidens Fontanus moss top left of pic has died, despite my increased Co2 and improved lighting and I don't know why. I ordered it from e bay about two weeks ago and it arrived sandwiched between two sheets of netting mesh, so I attached it to the red wood with cotton and waited for it to grow. Does anyone have any experience in growing this moss because I don't understand why it has died, first it went brown and I just thought it would spring back to life but no it hasn't.
I also was dosing plant care premium nutrition and now I'm thinking about ordering some more but want a better understanding of how best to grow it.

I've had no problems growing it in the past. it does prefer more light than most moss and co2 certainly doesn't hurt. Whats your PH/hardness like again?
