Emergency! My marimo balls are in bad shape! They are totally brown in color, one of it has little green left. Is there any way to save them? They were out of the tank for 1 month, in a bottle.. I think it was due to lack of nutrients / sunlight that caused this.. Finally back with me, I placed them back in a planted tank hoping they can recover in months time.

I gave it to my girlfriend to keep, thinking it should be easy to maintain, but after a week or two it started turning yellow. And I did not have the time to get it back, so it waited for a month. Now it's back with me, I quickly returned it to the tank.

What is the procedure I should follow to put them in the fridge?

Owh.. Okay.. laugh.gif

I thought something went wrong with em. Both of them having this problem, the giant one a bit more serious. Just did water change for them and stuff back to fridge again.

Nothing went wrong bro, try to perform more rapid change on the water and you will eventually see the freshness of it, just like what venus did in previous post.

Sorry to inform you bro, the marimos already in dying stage, since you mentioned your GF do put the marimos under direct sunlight. I thought we all over here already discussed about this? We shall avoid direct sun light against marimo as UV do kill them sad.gif Btw, your GF put the marimos under sunlight for how long? whole month?

I can't say exactly how long, but I don't think is whole day. I forgotten the fact, because I had it under my light, so I told her to put it under the sun. It is my bad forgetting the basic needs for the marimos sad.gif I will keep them in the tank hoping the environment can recover them.
