Marimo is actually not moss at all, but rather a rare form of algae that grows in spherical shapes. Each ball is approx. 2" in diameter. Easy to care for. They will rest on the bottom of your aquarium. A simple way to add some plants to your freshwater aquarium to oxygenate the water and promote biological filtration. Great for Betta bowls.

Loose cuttings are harvested from our aquariums at Aqua Lab. While we try our best to remove snails, we can't guarantee that these plants will be pest or disease-free. It's common for tiny snails or microscopic snail eggs to hitchhike on plants that come from an established aquarium. Please keep in mind that plant and portion sizes can vary as our plants grow and propagate.
i am a complete noob to aquariums and needed help building a DIY kit for mother's day. staff was extremely patient, helpful, and informative with care for our marimo balls. def recommend 100%!
