I like to see the plants living well in the tank The idea of keeping them alive is challenging.

marimo is a start i guess. it happened to me.

I treat marimo as a pet more than plants

i really love my marimos lol, every week i patted them so they dont collect fish poo and tank dust, make them firm and ripe green
just wished they grow faster since they usually got eaten little by little by my ghost shrimps

Ghost shrimps eats Marimo?

always saw them nipping bit by bit using their tiny pincers.
cant see any drastic damage of course. but maybe their nipping made my marimo stays in shape i guess?

better yamato than ghost shrimp la luqee... dont be so cheapo

just got back today, cant find my yamotos lol..
marimos seems to look fine though. and those ghost shrimps love to play under it.

I have received the Kawai Marimo.....

First, the tank is prepared to welcome the new kawai addition. Fake plants have been removed!


The Marimos are in ! The floating one still yet to find his perfect landing spot !


The other 4 Giant and 2 Nano have settled down. The busybody Neon Tetra started to mingle with these kawai Marimo.

Looks so much better without the plastic plants, and with the Marimos.

Burning sensation ?
