Appreciate it! I received the mossball very recently so I guess I just got lucky. I bought a few at the same time since I have multiple tanks. This is the only one so far that has spawned a little buddy.

I couldn't think of any downside but I'm very new to this so I don't want to do anything wrong! Sorry if it's a silly question. :...

Salutations! Been lurking in the forum for a while and finally taking the plunge into cycling a tank myself. Just had a quick question about my setup. I have some leaves from a felt plant slightly rising above the waterline. Is there any negative repercussion to this? I want to ensure I don't jeapor...
