Ok, so this is basically part II of the sickly moss ball.

Nephew appears to have peed in the nano tank with the moss ball. :jaw-dropp

So the question is: Will a pee burned moss ball survive? It is olive/grey in color now, but it doesn't smell like it's rotting, and the texture is the same as a healthy one. Do I have any hope???? (water has been changed a few times, moss ball washed in water, rung out, etc.)

***How did this happen, you ask?***
You see, I explained the wonders of fish poo in feeding my aquatic plants in the 20 gal. Nephew astutely determined that fish poo is really fish poo and "pee" all in one, as with birds.

The nano tank is in my bathroom on the counter next to the bathtub, and he knew there were no fish making poo and pee to feed the moss, so he "fed" it.
:( :( :(
 
Laughing and feeling guilty about doing it. Well look on the bright side at least he didn't poo in the tank.

I'm thinking that they should be ok, as long as you don't feed them anymore. A slight ammonia burn was pretty much what happened.

YES! I was especially relieved that there were no "solids" in the tank!!!!!

Ok, I'll cross my fingers for my poor, abused moss ball. Maybe I'll light the candles by the tub and hold a moss ball vigil, lol!
 
One cup of urine to 1 gallon of water is an instant nitrogen fix for houseplants...

Just a little overdose... If it wasn't too much, it will come back.
