How to care for Moss Balls?

[Arkangel77]

I got Some moss balls a while back and I was wondering what type of conditions they favored? Warm or cold water, low and high light? Just general info - I think they were marimano (spelling????). Thanks, Arkangel77

I'm pretty sure you just need to like rotate them every now and then so the part it sits on doesn't get brown.

they like both high and low light. they'll be brighter and grow faster in higher light. they need to be squeezed out during water changes and flipped over sometimes. they don't need ferts or anything special. they like current

Sweet - Thanks for the tips, Once I set up My Blue Ram 75 Gallon tank I think they will find a new home there. I currently have some in my betta tank and some in my discus tank. They seem to be doing OK so far. Thanks, Arkangel77
