Yeah, I love it so much, but washing this fella is a pain as you need to use both hand to massage it for a long time! LoL. The grand grand pa name is called Super Gigantic... I wonder if any other seller will be able to copy this name or not LoL, since you know, people are copying my other marimo names like Giant, Super Giant...

by the way, too bad I forgot to put the lazy carpet marimos together in the photo tim... I called it lazy carpet because it give me the felling of lazy as it always laying down at the bottom. (FYI, carpet also my own naming)

FYI, There are some members approach me and said that some sellers claimed that NO SUCH thing for carpet marimos as their supplier say not such thing, so I wanted to clarify over here. Yamatso San will provide carpet marimo to certain selected loyalty distributors only (I am one of them, and that's why I got carpet together with grand grand pa too!!). And FYI from my supplier, currently leeyung is the only person directly deal with Japan side, so some sellers who are selling at unreasonably low price n claimed their marimos are from Japan as well, the origin of their marimos should be questioned

LoL, I think no need a century gua? LoL, but Yamatso San told me that fella same age as his grandpa, so I guess at least the age 50 and above

wah wah wah, our marimo daigajie, where are you going d, long time no appear in this thread

Year Huge enough to play "water volley ball"

Not bowling size yet la, but about volley ball size d hehe, Mr Yamatso arrange it for me for our few years 'marimo relationship'

To all, at first I thought of not putting out Mr. Yamatso's name or some unethical sellers will be googling around n try to sabotage people's sales again, but Mr. Yamatso is my very great sensei (sifu) n I owe a lot to him for arranging shipments of marimos, as you know the shipments of marimos are not as simple as sending through courier service as some seller take this 'idea' to claim their marimos are genuine from Japan and selling super expensive because of that, and some seller said more than 3cm marimo cannot be shipped out from Japan, which is totally NOT true, I believe this kind of seller claiming such fake/false information is because of he/she unable to source it, what people call Sour Grapes . That is why we have to cleverly filter some false information claimed by certain unethical sellers which always think of a way to boost his own sales and sabotage/lower down other peoples

So here I promised to show Mr. Yamatso this photo of Super Gigantic with credits to him. Not to forget I need to thank all my buyers as well for your continuous support which in return gave me a chance to have this Super Gigantic! Therefore, here we go with the photo and I hope everyone love my Super Gigantic

FINALLY! The Wait is over! Gotten my another 2 son from TS!

Purposely called the poslaju center ask them DO NOT deliver to my house but instead I went over and pickup to ensure the survival rate.

After unpack, wash and check in 5star hotel. Guess only bring them out for photo shooting on this coming Saturday.

LOL. If a century, might be 2x of current size. But then... 50 years then only can grow to 16cm. Fuhhh! A longggg timeeeee still!

HAHA ... welcome to Marimos Family !!! Do your 2 new born son have any name ???

Ehe.. Those 2 from TS is the 3rd and 4th son already.

Gotten my 1st Marimo from a friend of mine about 1.5 years ago when she's on a trip to hokkaido. The nano size type.

And just right after 1 day I placed my order with TS, my other friend gifted me another jumbo size (which I posted the pic a page back). A belated birthday thou.

Now then these 2 joined in! Total have 4 now.

Didn't name them tho!

OH I SEE .... my fault never notice that haha
Cant wait to see your marimos !!!! (faster upload some pic)

Haha.. No worried. Gotta let them to have some cold spa before take them out for photo.

Going out station at the mid of June, prolly will setup a nano 1.5ft square cube tank for all these babies when I'm back. Now temporary keep them in guppy tank.

ERM ... i dun think that is Marimos

HAHA cant give much comment still new to this lets other sifu's to verify it

Er... Is that a java moss? Sorry, but seriously it doesn't look like marimo at all eh.

thats what makes me confused.

Seriously.. It does look like java moss then marimo. Used to have these moss when the time I'm keeping wild betta.

Tank: Ocean Free 1.5ft nano tank (44cm x 29cm x 30cm).

The tank itself comes with a back filter attached right? I mean there's a compartment for filter at the back that stick together with the tank.
