I picked this up at a Pet Smart, where they had these displayed next to the real plants. I did one of those 'oh I fail to read look at pictures' moves and bought one assuming it was a real one, IDK, stupid move. ANYWAYSSo I decided to put this in my Beta Fish Tank since I paid 7$ for it I thought Id try it anyways.ON THE UPSWING-
My Betta Fish is constantly entertained by this. As I did not squeeze the ball to get all of the air out it floats, so it helps relieve boredom, and he likes to sort of lay on it like they will do in nature, on leaves and other soft flotsam.
It seems to collect some of his food, which I think he enjoys also as he like to come and peck on it and see if he can find any loose goodies. All in all if for no other reason than a good activity item for Betta fish , its a not so bad fake ball of fur!I ordered four of these for my 55gallon tank. They are pretty cool, i really didn't know if they were real of not when i bought them but they are fake. Its a great thing for me since i hate the real ones. They always broke up and got into my filter. These ones have i think carbon inside them and the green stuff feels like hair into you get them wet. They look real after your rinse them down. You got to put them in water and squeeze the ball to get all the air out so it doesn't float. Overall i am happy, and will by 4-5 more in the next few weeks.i was constantly changing the yucky water in my turtle tank until i bought a moss ball and dropped it in. it has been a week and the water is crystal clear. i am not for sure of how long it works or if i need to do anything to it but for right now i am so impressed. (i really wish when things came pre-packaged, the instructions were not written in nu-readable micro print.)

When I first got this, I didn't really think it'd made a difference, but it definitely does!I have some in my 29 gallon planted tank with fish, and they love it! My gourami loves to pick at it and move it around the tank, and the cory cats like to hide under it. It really does make a quality in water clarity, tooI have a Fluval 205 in my aquarium and it has made the water eve clearer, which I didn't think was possible.
I also have one of these in my 1 gallon breeding tankI have seven Platty fry in there now, all about a quarter inch longand they like to hide in/around it. It also helps keep the water fresher longer, so I don't have to do a ton of water changes every day.
I have been keeping aquariums for around 15 years, and will definitely add this to my regular tank regimenI love them!I have never had such an easy time keeping a turtle tank clean. I have an 8 inch painted turtle in a 20 long tank with a waterfall filter. I put 2 of these balls in the water and they seem to really hold a host of organisms to keep the water clear along with the contents in the ball itself. The fish in the tank pick at it so there is something living on it that the fish go for.
