Nope. Big hairy balls are nothing to joke about my friend - very serious business :p
 
Funny thing was, when Claus brought some to the USA a number of years ago, everyone view them not quite with contempt, few even wanted balls. He had to give them away to some folks. Most relucantly accepted.

Now it seems many want balls. Having balls seems to be an increasing trend.

I saw some FW crabs at the LFS today - would it be unwise to mix the crabs with the balls?

Also I have been battling cyanobacteria lately which has led to blue balls - should I just rub this of by hand or would it help to place them in front of the powerhead?

I think that that's a myth whether or not we talk about algae, but I'm definitely not going to field-test it!

To Robert H

I must admit, I have been eyeing up your balls with great interest. I'd also be interested in your reply to inxs about cleaning cyano off said balls. I've been battling the hideous green stuff (the cyano, not your balls) for quite some time now and was waiting until I had it licked before ordering the balls. I'm also curious as to exactly how important CO2 is for the balls. Right now, I am using Seachem's Excel as my Co2 source and was wondereing if it would be sufficient to keep my balls happy.

$4.50 sounds good, but one of your balls would cost me $4.99 in shipping...for a total of $9.49 per ball. That's a lot of money for one hairy green ball when I can get them locally for $7.58 :p

Actually Gcvt, I think to get your one hairy ball, it would cost you about $35 from Robert. $25 minimum order, 2 day UPS shipping and $5 handling charge for orders under $100.

Thats my only beef and why I haven't ordered from him.

Robert - I am curious, lots of folks sell on Aquabid and there is no minimum order, 2 day US Prioirty mail shipping and no handling fees. Why do you impose minimums, handling fees, etc. I am sure there are more people like me who would like to buy a few things from you but really don't need $25 worth of plants right now because we have a lot already, and while I am more than willing to pay actual postage, am put off by a $5 handling fee
