I was thinking to take various moss balls and run weighted chop sticks through them to make tree like structures in the tank. What do you think? Also are mossballs different from other mosses or are they grown that way?
What do you think of moss ball colums

yeah i never really check them out but i saw some today and thought if you could stack them they might look nice.

Extinct? Since when?
You mean those floating ones attached to fishing line? Those are Styrofoam balls with java moss wrapped about them. Java moss looks hairy, while Marimo moss balls are forest green and look more..fuzzy or fluffy.
You could certainly wrap java moss into a column design. It's pretty pliable. You just need some fishing line to keep it in place. Marimo moss balls are less likely to stay in place, and more likely to clump up and fall apart if you flatten them or try to use them for scaping anything other than a rug or a ball.

Do you think they would hold in gases and stink up a tank. Are they made for fish tanks or do they grow like that in the wild.

Many people have them in tanks, I would have got one, but I spent those 5 dollars on a piece of wood instead.

they grow like that natural. i bought one and flatened it out and put it on drift wood. looks great, if you let the be for like two months they will start to ball up and look just like the image above
