I've had some questions, so I'll share some of those answers.

By possible trades, let's stick with aquatic items I could use right now. (Don't tempt me with other stuff I shouldn't be spending money on! lol.)

Yes, the other mosses I have will be back too.. later on. I'll post those when they're available again. Will also have moss balls for sale in a few weeks. I'll update the thread as new stuff is ready.

Thanks for the orders and questions, everyone.

Would love some moss balls - What kind of moss are you using and how much will they be?

Hi Lindtball. Moss balls are also called Marimo Balls. They're not really moss and it's not something we make using moss. Marimo Balls are a little odd - it's actually a form of algae that naturally grows into a round sphere. (Don't worry, it's not a bad form of algae.) These balls, then roll around in the current in certain lakes where they're found, thus maintaining their round shape and keeping them green all over. They grow very slowly.. something like a few centimeters in diameter per year.

This photo from myfishtank.net shows what the texture looks like (better than my photos do).

They're undemanding in aquariums.. just squeeze them out every so often to clean out the gunk that collects inside. Make sure you turn them occasionally so they don't fade on the bottom. Many fish will do that for you, like my goldies and loaches. Sometimes when they're pearling, they'll float around too. I get a real kick out of them.. and so do my fish as you'll see in the attached pictures.

Having said all that.... if what you really want is a type of moss that's attached to something instead (not a Marimo Ball), just let me know. You can always buy a loose clump of moss and do this yourself - or I'd be happy to attach some to a round (or flat) stone for you. (Just PM me with the specifics so I know what sizes/shapes you'd like and I'll reply back with a price.) Those are easy to do and I won't charge you anything for the rock.

Here are some of my moss balls. I'm still setting up some new tanks, so I don't know yet how many I'll keep. But I'll post a proper update here with measurements and such, once they're available. Pricing will be based on size.

Thank you so much. Very informative and I have learned something new today. Will love some when they become available.
