Moss Balls

[lindab]

My moss ball has fallen apart and I can’t tell if it’s dead. It’s 4 years old and has been in a tank with one Betta who died about a month ago. The Betta was about 5. Had them in about 74 degree water no filter or heater. What should I do? Tried one overnight in the refrigerator and added salt to the tank. He was looking like this before the fish died. Any help appreciated.

What are all your water parameters, including GH & KH?

Any changes to your maintenance or feeding?

Any pictures?

Hi!

Carl's suggestions are great. I would just do away with the moss balls for now. Actually, last year it was found they were harboring parasites for the whole hobby and it was a big deal. I don't know if it was ever resolved.
I would more look into parameters for the health issue with the fish though.
