Moss Balls

[Austin8]

I have a 29 gallon semi aggressive tank and every time I go to petsmart for filters or water conditioner etc. I see those moss balls and was wondering whats the purpose for them and what do they help?

They help reduce phosphates and nitrates. There may be more but thats what i know. Plus fish and shrimp like to nibble on them.

This isn't on subject but I have a 29 gallon with 4 tiger barbs 2 gouramis an albino bn and guppies. Would 2 or 3 Cory's be okay in my tank?

 

[Oscar98]

Ok and would they bother my bn and take food away cause my bn is like my baby. Haha l don't want him competing for food

 

[Oscar98]
