ABOUT:
Marimo moss balls are a type of freshwater algae that are popular in the aquarium hobby. They are spherical in shape and have a velvety texture that resembles a moss-covered rock. Marimo moss balls are native to Japan, Iceland, and parts of Europe and grow at a very slow rate of around 5mm per year. They are known for their ability to absorb nitrates and other pollutants from the water, helping to keep the aquarium clean and healthy for fish and other aquatic animals. Marimo moss balls are easy to care for and require minimal maintenance, making them a popular choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
