A moss ball is simply algae it does little to nothing as far as uptake of ammonia, trites and trates.

if you are really scientific then you know the importance of testing and retesting ideas and not running with a single case, you now the importance of real data and that any gut feeling has to be backed up.
If you care about your fish then you need to do water changes and have proper filtration, plants are good but you are not just talking about removing nitrites and ammonia, you have to replenish things as well, like the minerals I talked about in my post above.
Please for the sake of your fish just start changing water. It is really not that hard and the fish are real living creatures that you are killing off because of your negligence. They are not decorations. If you want to keep fish you have to take care of them.
:iagree:
Ok, Mark, you are a **** and are jumping to conclusions. I have had freshwater tanks for nearly 15 years NEVER with problem or loss of fish. Im not some 3rd grade newbie here. Yesterday I did a 30% water change and replaced the water at the same temperature and this morning my only adult guppie was dead. Baby fry are all doing really well still. Water changes, or lack there of, ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
Yes I am testing and retesting ideas. Not testing water doesn't mean there are lack of tests. I am not running with a single case, I haven't even made a conclusion with the exception that it is not a water change issue. Minerals for the plants are plentiful from the waste from the fish. You should look into the sciences of aquaponics/hydroponics same thing. There is nothing in my water that is going to benefit the plants more than what they already have or need.
Once again, "I refuse to listen to the people who know what they're doing after asking for their advice and I will persist in obstinance and ignorance and keep killing fish because I want to feel smart."
You're wasting your time and ours.
You're wasting your time and ours.
I wish my water was simple enough that it only had a single parameter, it would save me so much money on RO/DI filtration.
