Moss ball in flowerhorn tank

[Ruturaj]

Has anyone tried putting moss ball in flowerhorn tank? It might be good thing for fish to play with and reduce nitrates? Or will fish just destroy it?

They destroy them.

I run two balls in my FH tank. He does tend to kick them about but I get a good 8 weeks use out of them before they collapse. Just check their integrity when you do a water change they can be a twat to cleanup when they fall apart

That's not too bad.

I'd grow pothos outside the tank if you wanna reduce nitrates without replacing it every few weeks

Hed have to protect the roots as the fh would probably destroy them. I found a funny fh video a while back of one pulling pothos into the tank and shredding it. Those fish are so funny. I may some day decide I'd like a cichlid wet pet, but I think id go mbu before I did a large cichlid again.
