## Description

Product description This listing is for 2 Marimo Moss Balls. These are one of the most popular plants in the aquarium hobby, and they are widely kept as ornamental plants in jars in Japan. The moss balls generate oxygen and remove nitrates, improving water quality.This is definitely something different for your aquarium that you don't see often! If you wish, you can cut the moss balls into smaller pieces and the individual pieces will grow into separate moss balls.Marimo balls are regarded as good luck charms in Japan, and since they have been known to live to 200 years and beyond, they are often kept as family heirlooms. They are thought to symbolize close bonds between family members or close-knit friends, and are often passed down to children and grandchildren or nieces and nephews. By the time future generations receive the marimo balls, they will be larger in size and will continue to grow with each generation. Additionally, marimo balls are sometimes given to young children as "pets," since the only care they require is occasional water changes.Marimo balls are also though to represent everlasting love; thus, they are often used as wedding table ornaments or even gifted at weddings. They are appropriate as a gift to the bride and groom, and smaller marimo balls make wonderful take-home gifts for the guests that will serve as mementos of the newly-weds' special day.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just bought as a small gift - how long can they keep out of water?  Are they salt or fresh water or both?**
A: Apparently they can survive up to a month out of water, although I haven't tried it, and can live in fresh or salt water. Mine are thriving just in tap water which I change every 2 weeks.

**Q: Why are mine floating at the top of the tank? How do i get it to sink to the bottom?**
A: I have found that when I clean them by squeezing them gentle and then put them back into clean water they float for a while but eventually they soak up the water and sink to the bottom.  I keep them in water that is about 9cm deep.

**Q: Can I just put these straight into my tank or is it best to wash them first**
A: You can put them straight into your tank 
They will probably have air trapped in them so you will have to hold them in the water and gently squeeze them and if they arrive as mine did whilst gently squeezing them you will have to shape them back into balls

**Q: Hello, can you tell me, are these good to keep with betta fish**
A: As far as we are aware moss balls are fine, they help keep the tank clean
