I've been told that these are great for bettas but just like in the past my sources have come up wrong so I'm double checking here are these good for bettas
Ok thanks I'll have to learn how to identify those snails and whatever else you said but sounds like it shouldn't be to hard to doYour sources are correct this time. Live plants are great for water quality and are less likely to damage flowing fins than plastic ones. The only warning I would give is this- check the moss ball to make sure it doesn't have any little invertebrates (like outbreak causing snails) on it. Also, a dying/rotting plant of any kind can cause problems, so rotate the moss ball occasionally (so that all sides have access to light) and trim dead sections if they appear. Every few weeks, you can wash it in clean water, gently squeezing and rolling it (no soap).
*Moss balls are ultimately very hardy plants and I can't think of a reason not to have one unless it's dead or covered in zebra mussels. Go for it!
Wyoming has banned moss balls because of these mussels. In the UK, you're OK with them.covered in zebra mussels
