ah I see..sorry for the missreading! m(_ _)m
I have interest in growing the moss..XD but my aquarium's decorations haven't fixed yet..still need changes..

anyway..got my Betta...named him Hiki~ maybe he still around 3 months old...
Seems like he isn't really comfortable with Bigger Marimos..
He doesn't want to swim next to the SuperGiants
and yet he Loves to swim around next to filter pipe even he got pushed away by the air flow, and (keep swimming closer to the filter pipe again after that) try to photo him next to the marimo..but seems he realized when I want to take photos of him =.=" He swam to the back of the aquarium after tat..

*CORRECTION*
he seems try to move closer the the Super Giants..then not so long he moved away..
IDK is it maybe my lamp is too strong for him...or he doesn't comfortable with the area..he loves to stay in the edge of the aquarium next to the filter pipe...

Hi there!
long time no Online...
my Health isnt so well lately..still in cure process>.<
and my Betta : Hiki-chan got sick too, With his behaviour that often scratching his body onto the gravels, looks like he got itch/fungus..his colour is paler too.... so I immediatly quarantine him, but yeah he is fine now:) healthy and love to eat! heheheh... and somehow I wondering maybe He loves the small Jar more..I also add the Photos of him making so many bubble nest there..=="

Hiki is an Halfmoon Betta^^
He alil bit shy, love Dry Worm, hate pelet! He phoooeeww every pelet that I gave him =__=" I give up, give the Pellet to neon tetra now..the Tetras is in my smaller aquarium .
now He's adapted to Marimo too
He often swim on the marimos,and sometimes he loves to hide between the Super Giant too
one of my Giant became his favourite place to rest, he lay his body on the side of my Giant^^
anyway, bought Albino Cories too.. I want to meet Hiki with the Corries, hopefully they can be friends .

Added on September 26, 2012, 2:18 pmI bought them in Indonesia around 15.000 Rupiahs
it means around 5 Malaysian Ringgits? is that right?
I think Bettas here got variation Prices
I bought the cheaper one.. he's around 3-4 months old..
What I bought is Thailand Bettas, I see the Bigger Bettas (the seller said it's from Japan). the Size is much bigger than mine. It's around 75.000 rupiahs..
Some Bettas that being keep for Fish Show/competition is way more expensive..
but I think in the end, the result is all depend on the way you're taking care ur Bettas

which do you refer to? Marimo or Bettas?
they have their own thread..
if you wanna find marimo, look at the first page, Leeyung sells it
If u wanna buy Bettas, well I bought in my country...

yep, it doesn't cure fast... my cousins also did the same, many white on the outside of the marimo
he put the marimo into the fridge spa everynight, and wash the marimo everyday.. he said it's getting better, but the white still there..
be patient, it will be back slowly...

good evening~ just wanna share my newest tank setup..
(YAY! yes, I bought new tank finaly =.=)
It's 5 Gallon Tank
with my Marimos and few fishes inside^^
My 5 Gallon Tank Setup

well actualy what I bought is baby Cory >.< they're still small.. while I just surprised that yesterday I saw 4cm size mature cory =_=
because they're still babies, I decided to put the corydoras together^^.. maybe when they're bigger I decided to move them into my dad's KOI ponds.. and maybe I'll get Panda Cory...

Hello!
long time no visit this forum!!
sharing my Nanos and 1 Giant from Leeyung
They all goes well with Corydoras, the fish often clean/sweep the dirt on the marimos..

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..

Bad..bad..XD hahaha
I use the water with chlorine until I owned my Betta and Other Fishes..
now I only use Well Water..still put a lil bit salt and antichlorine tho.. PH 7-7.5






all Healthy both The Fishes and The Marimos ^^

thank you ^^
I really fallin in love with ottos, they're relly cute, especially when they're eating or swimming hahaha

I decided to separate the marimos, because I bought the second aquarium and put them with my other Bettas
Introducing my Female Salamander Halfmoon, I need a name for her, she's really cute
loves those Nano Marimos, sometimes she sat on it wkwkwkw
She loves to swim around the Giant and Super Giant too

marimos and Bettas are really good combination

*MARIMO UPDATE*

my super Giant almosttt got the "Velvet texture"
the touchy feels are realllyyyy softtt!
my Nano Marimos are softer than this now^__^

all Marimos bought from LEEYUNG

hello, u asked about the lamp, right?
well, I can't tell if ur lamp is enough for ur marimo or not
it should be written on the box, the watt metre, Kelvin and Par metre (if not some products have it written on some side of the lamp)
I'm not so good at electronic either, so I can't see if the lamp is right/not through the photos only

yes she's really pretty, and really active swimmer too, guess female Betta is really active swimmer , my first time got Female Betta

I Cycling my old tank too, change the gravel to sand, prettier tho..
how long do u usually cycling ur tank? O.O?

yes all my marimos are grow really well
but more than that, they're already have a good quality before u send them to me
so achieve those velvet texture doesn't take a really long time, hehehehehe

Added on November 17, 2012, 5:12 pmthank you^^ just routinely massage them and cleaned them, not everyday but almost everyday, hehehe
routinely put them in the fridge everynight too, or every three days also good (before I put them everyday)

marimo is basicaly a low lighting plant...
I light my marimo 8-10 hours a day (read that 4 hours a day already enough too)
just careful don't use too long light, it can cause algae growth to ur aquarium

don't use lamp that have UV in it, it kills marimo.

the bigger the watt of ur lamp is all depend on ur tank size usually 3 gallon with 2 Watt LED is already enough

wow, ur tank is Big, around 13 gallon (50 litre), if u have Betta fish, it will be really happy in there )

No need CO2 (in my opinion)
because marimo is a slow growth plant, so it doesn't need CO2 injection, when there are too many CO2, algae can growth too

I use LED light too btw
my 3 gallon tank=12 litre, and my marimos are pearling
(but not enough pearl to make them floating)
maybe because the light beam is too high (my tanks height is aroun 24 cm)
I use HOB filter too, the tank is really clean and the marimo looks pretty
next time I'll post my tank photos.

suitable fish, for me is Betta, because their Poo isn't so many (u can easily syphon the poo everyday)
they look pretty too when they swim near marimo left a little bit of poo also fine too
because Aquaplant use them as their nutrition, so that they're more healthy.
U can bath ur marimo every 3 days if u're afraid they will be fast to get dirty.
otocinclus is good and cute, but u need to grow a little algae in ur tank, otherwise they're high maintenance, because they prefer natural food to have longer lifespan, and they're school fishes too, need to have them minimum 3.

other fishes, hmm..u can ask Leeyung and anyone that already put many fishes in their tank
