With Marimo Moss Balls all types of fish are able to live with the moss and not bother with it. Even your algae eaters are able to be with the moss because it's plant material is tough and tangled it is hard for the algae eaters to get to causing them to leave it only. Remember you don't need special lighting or fertilizer to keep this aquarium plant healthy. Marimo Moss Balls is also great for getting rid of pond algae and algae in the aquarium because the moss ball out competes the algae for nutrients since they have similar diets. Also in your pond drop a couple in and let them remove nutrients that cause that ugly green water. This will also let you get rid of algae the natural way. The Marimo also brings happiness, love and luck to the owner. All my Marimo is origin Japan Hokkaido. If anyone interested to buy, pls contact me
