I took a week to finish..... each day read a bit a bit......i keep reading bcoz sometimes reading from others experience can learn a lot n we learn not to get cheated........hehehehe..... but same thing keep discussed again n again, will make the thread getting bored n other newbies will be facing same problem in reading from first page..... my opinion only.... hehehe

hehehe agree, my curiousity is Big too, and I love to learn what I love/Pet^^. I want to grow Marimo in the Right and healthy way..so thats why I Read and asked many people about the Details too..

Hi all

All I asked was 1 simple question 'the diff of Japanese and Europe Marimo' and i get a lengthy lecture on 'not to be lazy'. This is a forum where seniors can guide / help the newbies like us in understanding on the topic discuss better. If you really wants to help, either give us a direct answer or guide us to the post number. We know what to do from there and we really appreciate your assistance. BUT please dont give us names by calling us lazy.

Thank you for your understanding. Reading 2,300 over posts takes one hell of time. I prefer to spend time watching my Marimo bounding up & down. More smoothing to my mind after a mad day in the office. I dont need any more headache.
Another reason why I prefer ask openly is to build up relationship with the senior and to keep the topic running. You can see some of the other topics are so quiet, almost dead.

have a wonderful weekend watching your beautiful Marimo.

Hi, a newbie to marimo petting
I have been gifted 2 nano marimos as my birthday present from someone and its been thru a month now. I was curious it didnt float up once at all, sad @@.
I do chg the water in 1 week time, when the time i chg water, i squeeze the nano marimo gently, it give me a quite solid feel
Im starting worried of its fake marimos..
Any experienced people comment?

Here's my current marimos looks like

Your marimo are mis-focused, could you take the pic again?

thx for reply
how bout this?

I'm no expert but judging by the filaments they look real. Make sure after the bath, you give them reasonably aerated water, plenty of light, and cool water. If they pearl, it's a sure sign they're real. You can aerate water a little by putting some in a bottle and shaking vigorously.

thx for the advice, i will try it and observe for awhile

Good Evening~
sharing another Photos of my Marimos..
after "massage" session,starts pearling again

move them to small bottle after putting in Canister Filter in the Aquarium
Somehow, the Water inside the Aquarium can't clean clearly.. maybe because of the Gravels? it still looks dusty even I washed the gravel many times+_+

and..I kinda freak out when some furs of marimo released from it, the filter quickly absorb the fur +_+" hahaha.. (can marimo become smaller because of the filter's strainer?)hahaha.. +_+

Definitely the gravel. Nothing to do but to keep washing. Alternatively you can try cycling the water through the filter till it runs clear.

yep..the aquarium are clean now!
must patiently waiting the filter do the cleaning
anyway..wanna share another batch from Leeyung..^^

Added on September 1, 2012, 3:47 pmI notice there are some hair fillamens at Super Giant marimo that brown/white/yellow colorish(but really little). All at the edge of the hair..... need advice!
1. should I cut the edges a little?
2. should I rub them with water salt?
3. should I do nothing and let the greenish colour back naturaly?

thank you..^^

i have 2 marimo,one of it i think dying...
both the color is not dark green..one of it abit light green and another not so healthy one is even lighter with some very light brownish color to it..

the not so healthy one is like going to split,when i squeeze it,its not firm..

Can someone tell me if its just going to split or is it dying?
or is both of it dying?

I heard that when there are green colour on marimo, means the marimo still can be saved... washed them and rubbed them with salt water..
then put them in fridge with the amount salt 5% of the water volume!

fridge means no light for them...

put them in fridge at night..
give them light in the morning
