yakteriyaki Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Hello, quick question because I can’t seem to find a clear answer anywhere online even searching these forms. Are we still worried about marimo balls carrying invasive species? I’ve seen a couple now at Petco and online stores, but I know they disappeared for a while. Anyone know where we stand now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) I have seen nothing saying they are fine now, most people still say they them but idk, ya they have disappeared recently seems like, even at AC….I haven’t seen any clear answer anywhere to, I was looking into them for my tank and saw a lot of this @yakteriyaki Edited March 4 by Whitecloud09 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I've not seen any issues with them caring invasive clams; but i have another problem with them growing over everything in the aquairum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhugger Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I do see them available now in some on line aquarium stores, subject to restrictions in certain states. The stores I looked at stated they were strictly quarantined against containing zebra mussels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I was just in my LFS yesterday and was talking to the owner, who is also a friend of mine, about these. He said that he has not seen moss balls on any list that he gets in a very long time. He said he gets one or two people asking every week about them, but he is unable to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If you do find then and want to be sure there are no zebra mussels Reverse Respiration will eliminate them. Moss especially in the marimo family also love this treatment. I often use it just to give them a boost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
