I have seen these green balls and I think they look pretty cool, like little aquatic shurbs if you will. I looked them up on plantgeek and they dont saw a whole lot about them, does anyone have them... are they easy to care for Im setting up a tank and will have 3.2wpg and CO2 enjected it will be a 20long and the lighting is powercompact. I am going to be using flourish as my fert and clay gravel.
 
Could you be talking about Java Moss?? My goldfish moww on it alllll the time, and it still keeps thriving. Requires little light, and no co2 injections.
 
i gives a differant look to the tank. i have two of them, when you clean your tank just squeeze the balls to clean them out, feels like tennis balls, but do it underwater, other wise they will get air in them and float. if it do happen, just submerg(sp?)them and sqeeze them again so they get filled with water.

Oh wow! Those are certainly different. I was wrong with the java moss - i only suggested it because mine sits in a big ball lol.
