Description

The floating moss ball is a buoyant spherical ball of aquarium moss designed to float at the water surface, creating an unusual and natural planted feature that requires no substrate, no attachment, and no positioning — it simply floats where gentle water movement takes it, drifting naturally and providing a living green sphere at the surface level of the aquarium.

As a floating plant the moss ball grows in low light without CO2 injection. It is easy to maintain — trim with scissors if it grows too large, and squeeze gently to remove excess water if needed. Shrimp and fry use the underside and the surface of the ball for shelter and grazing. The floating position gives it good light exposure and gas exchange at the surface.

Simply place in the aquarium and it floats immediately — no substrate, no planting, no attachment needed. It can be left to drift freely with water movement or guided to a preferred area of the tank. Suited to aquariums of 20 litres and above and effective as a natural, self-maintaining floating feature for shrimp tanks and community aquariums.

Common Questions

How does it float?

The ball is structured so that it naturally traps enough air to remain buoyant at the surface. It continues to float as it grows.

Does it need CO2 or special lighting?

No — moss grows under standard aquarium lighting without CO2 injection. The surface position gives it good natural light exposure.

Will shrimp and fish use it?

Yes — shrimp graze on the underside and surface of the ball. Fry also shelter within and around the floating moss.

How do I maintain it?

Trim with scissors if it grows too large. Squeeze gently to remove excess water if the ball becomes heavier than desired.

Can I have multiple floating moss balls?

Yes — multiple balls can float together to create more surface coverage. They complement each other and provide more shelter and grazing area.
