Moss Balls and Aquarium Safety: Many people ask us if Moss Balls can go into their fish tanks. We’re happy to share that the Moss Balls are welcomed additions to freshwater aquariums. In fact, they naturally absorb toxic nitrates in water and act like miniature filters, cleaning the water. Though the Moss Balls are safe for your fish, some fish are known to enjoy them a bit too much and may peck at and eventually destroy it. Keep a good eye on things and see how your fish react before you decide to permanently leave Moss balls in a fish tank. Light: Keep your Moss balls where they will receive low to medium indirect light. You must protect them from the direct rays of the sun, as the Moss balls can easily turn brown if they are getting direct light. Remember - these guys are native to cool lakes, and should be kept cool. The Moss balls are well adapted to low light spaces and can photosynthesise in normal household light. If your space has no window, keep the Moss balls close to a fluorescent or full-spectrum bulb.

Changing the Water: Change water once every two weeks using regular tap water (for best results, allow water to sit out for 24 hours prior to changing the water). You’ll need to change the water more often in summer, as it will heat and evaporate more quickly. Do clean your Moss ball enclosure with a brush if algae begins to grow on tank surface.

Browning: If your Moss balls turn brown, make sure they’re moved to a cooler location with less direct light. They may recover and turn green again on their own. If not, you may add a tiny amount of aquarium ocean salt.

Why are my Moss Balls Floating? More than likely, the Moss balls have an air bubble trapped inside that is causing them to float! Gently squeeze the Moss balls to pop the air bubble. Generally, the Moss ball will sink to the bottom of their tank within 1-2 days of being added to an enclosure.

Can the Moss balls survive outside of water? Yes! the Moss balls can survive without water if kept in plastic or a closed jar for several days, as long as they aren’t allowed to fully dry out. Plastic bags are the easiest way to travel with the Moss balls.

Keeping the Moss balls shape round: In their natural habitats, the waves and currents of the lakes gently rotate and roll the Moss balls along the floor of the lake. To ensure that Moss balls stay & keep their round form and don’t flatten out, you’ll want to gently agitate the water in your Moss balls enclosure, with the goal that when your Moss balls settle back to the bottom, they rest on a different side than they had prior. Try to simulate the gentle waves of a lake.
