I just bought one today and I love it. It has the attached thread and sinker. The man in the store said it's filled with a tiny styrofoam ball and that makes it float. He said his has grown quite large. My fish seem to like it a lot.

Real moss balls are the marimo type and they will generally cost more. Ones with strings attached with styrofoam stuff is a man-made moss ball. The components of a marimo and those moss balls you find in large chains (like petco) are completely different.

I bought one of those "fake" moss balls from Petco a while ago. It of course started to fall apart, so i spread it out and anchored it to my gravel with a rock. Is it java moss, and will it eventually root to my gravel?
