    Description

    Add an unusual green feature to your aquarium with this floating moss ball. It drifts naturally at the water’s surface, with no planting or attachment needed.

    Easy to care for, it grows in low light without added CO2 and provides shelter and grazing space for shrimp and fry. Simply place it in your aquarium and allow it to float freely, or guide it to your preferred spot. Trim with scissors when needed.

    Please note: The underside may have little or no moss coverage because it receives less light during growing. This is normal for this product.

    Customers praised this floating moss ball for being healthy and entertaining to watch, with shrimp and fish enjoying nibbling on it. "So fun to watch bobbing about," one shopper noted. Great packaging ensured freshness. Some noted sparse moss coverage initially, though growth appeared over time. The attached string is barely visible.

    Love these

    I have shrimp as well as corys, snails and other things that enjoy nibbling. They love the marimo moss balls and have loads but I wanted something a bit different for them. I saw these and debated it for a while then decided to give it a try. Within seconds of them being in the tank some shrimps had discovered one while one of my corys was pecking away at the bottom of the other. I have one in the still area of my tank, one in the air flow and one in between and they are so fun to watch bobbing about. They were delivered a day later than expected, purely due to Royal Mail, so I was concerned about the condition but they are super healthy and were still really damp thanks to great packaging. I was also worried about the “string” and if it would make my tank look messy but it really is super hard to see unless you are up close. Great additions to my tank and I expect I’ll be back to buy some more.

    Latest biorb purchase

    Have bought this item several times. In place in my 30l biorb where the shrimps love them. I have 3 at different levels the shrimps settle on them especially if food gets attached to them.

    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.
