Description: Medium Moss Ball - Cladophora Live Freshwater Aquarium Plant Moss Balls, scientifically known as Marimo (Aegagropila linnaei), are unique and charming additions to any aquarium. These spherical algae formations are beloved for their low maintenance and distinctive appearance. Moss Balls are not only aesthetically pleasing but also beneficial for water quality, making them a favorite among aquarists of all experience levels. Planting and Placement Substrate: Moss Balls do not require a substrate and can be placed directly on the aquarium floor. They can also be used as floating decorations or anchored to various surfaces with fishing line or aquarium-safe glue. Light Requirements: Moss Balls thrive in low to moderate lighting. Aim for 1 to 2 watts per gallon or an equivalent LED light setup. Excessive lighting can lead to algae growth on the Moss Balls, so avoid placing them under direct, intense light. Water Conditions: Temperature: Moss Balls prefer cooler water temperatures, ideally between 59°F and 77°F. They can tolerate tropical tank temperatures but thrive best in cooler conditions. pH: They can adapt to a wide range of pH levels, from 6.0 to 8.0, with slightly acidic to neutral water being ideal. Hardness: Moss Balls are tolerant of various water hardness levels, from soft to moderately hard water (2 to 15 dGH). Maintenance Pruning: Moss Balls do not require traditional pruning. However, they may need to be occasionally rolled in your hands to maintain their round shape and to ensure even growth. This prevents the Moss Balls from developing flat spots and helps maintain their aesthetic appeal. Cleaning: Moss Balls can accumulate debris and detritus over time. Gently rinse them in aquarium water during regular water changes to remove any trapped particles. Avoid using tap water, as it may contain chlorine and other chemicals harmful to aquatic life. Fertilization: Moss Balls do not require additional fertilization, as they obtain nutrients from the water. Regular water changes and a balanced aquarium environment will provide sufficient nutrients for their growth. CO2 Requirements: Moss Balls do not require CO2 injection and will thrive in low-tech setups. They are well-suited for low-maintenance and beginner-friendly aquariums. Propagation Moss Balls propagate through division. To propagate, gently cut a larger Moss Ball into smaller sections using a clean, sharp knife or scissors. Roll the cut sections into spherical shapes, and over time, they will grow into new Moss Balls. Regularly roll the new Moss Balls in your hands to help them maintain their shape.
