Mossballs
Hi
On a picture you posted of your betta there was a moss ball beside it. Please could you tell me if moss balls are very good plants just ive often looked at them as they sound interesting. Thanks,
Kieran
Moss balls(marimo balls) are a very good addition to any tank, some fish love to nibble at them they help absorb excess nutriments in the water that algae love, they are more like free floating plants and move around so not fixed the dont float and block out light. I won an auction on ebay and got 3 balls and 2 lily bulbs for about £3, and they are all excellent, search for marimo balls
eBaydont pay more than about £2 for a few, watch the P & P charges some people charge loads more that the actual postage, mine have grown a bit, slow growing though, these dont overgrowd the tank, di
