Fluval Moss Ball
The Fluval Moss Ball is a dual-purpose accessory that quietly cleans your water while adding a natural, mossy accent to the tank. It adsorbs and traps phosphate and nitrite to help hold ideal conditions for small fish and shrimp, and it discourages the organic buildup that leads to unsightly film and grime. Drop it into a shrimp or nano setup and let it work. Rotate it in alongside your other filter media.
