Love this pic! How long did it take for your baby mossball to get that big?

Thanks! Just with my phone actually. It was with Snapchat funnily enough.

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.

Awesome! Great shot! :) As for the question when a mossball buds...it depends. Some mossballs that I send out have tiny buds on them already, so you get "babies" fairly quickly. Others may take a few weeks or months...or longer. It all depends on the tank and growing conditions. In the end all one can do is just wait for it to happen and keep an eye on the tank. The tiny buds are very easy to miss.
