Marimo breaking apart and Carpet Marimo they are two different thing Breaking of Marimo apart can be due to several reasons, use search button in this thread to get your answer as it has been discussed previously Whereas Carpet Marimo is naturally in the form at the first place Btw, try consult your seller about the issue you are facing, that is the fastest way for you to get the solution as your seller should be the one who know much more better on his/her selling item including species, quality and etc.

The seller might be able to tell her why her marimo exploded, but once the filaments are broken, I don't think they can reattach themselves. Really, has anyone ever managed to rejoin a split marimo?

I also don't think it can re-attach back. Maybe can manually roll it back use hand and that also kenot guarantee re-attach back. Have to see what the seller say lah, maybe the seller will try to hard sell another round one lah

just roll it back and see how...
thanks for d feedback

sharing my marimo haha

Aiyak! dun putus asa so fast lah Rainbow, just ask the seller 1st. Maybe the seller willing to exchange a new one for you leh. Anyway arh... Marimo splitting up doesn't mean dead, it only change into different form but still pretty much alive if its still dark green as long as you maintain clean water.

That's right, and there's a very good chance you can roll the parts back together into new nanos. If you take care of them, they will grow up to be healthier and stronger than farmed marimos too, with better fur structures.

hi there!
welcome to the marimo club
i am new to shrimp rearing too,
shrimp rearing will take alot more effort in my opinion
and water parameters in your current tank must be stable enough
so that the shrimps will live and SPAWN

so far i have set up tank and i need to wait at least a month before putting in the shrimps
every week or so, i will test water parameters
after a month, once everything is okay, then only i will get my shrimps

Finally i manage to roll it back.. The last one on d right

That's good, but you need to be very careful with it from now on. It might take years for the seam to close up :{ And it might just fall apart if you just touch it wrong

Hi...I'm new here. Just got my nano and giant marimo from leeyung ytd. Would like to ask...other than tap water, can i use those filtered water like diamond water??

I think tap water is already okay..
I use usual water (with chlorine)=="
and yes the results is good, my Nanos all so fluffy and the texture is really improve alot..

Wow, isn't that bad for the fish though? xD
