Mini moss balls appear after six years!
In 2019, I set up another aquarium for my Opae ula. I added a mini moss ball from Petshrimp.com. Unfortunately, that moss ball disappeared over time, or so I thought. A few days ago, I found a couple of tiny moss balls, apparently doing well!

Super cool! I really wonder how it somehow managed to persist for 6 years after it apparently died without you noticing it
Re: Mini moss balls appear after six years!
That's great! The mossball probably disappeared behind some rock or decoration...possibly shrank and/or split into pieces...and voila...you have new mossballs years later. From the size of them I'd guess they are at least a year or two old already. This is truly an amazing plant!

My mini moss ball purchased from Petshrimp and put in the tank on January 1, 2020 still looks exactly the same as it did the day it was placed in the tank. However, I am noticing some new ones starting to pop up around the tank. Apparently the shrimp help it to sluff off some small strands and you really don’t notice them until they grow a little. Patience is the key.
