Haha, nowadays, people use to fraud and cheat by trying to use other's reputation. I get to know the existence of this LYmarimo because a few members in lowyat ask me about that. Guess what, that LYmarimo is actually a member in lowyat too! but in lowyat he is having other user ID. sweat.gif

Then this fella tried to use the email LYmarimo to imitate and confuse others around. He also copy other photos without asking permission and end up get caught by the photo owner.  Epic Failed. So I have to declare here. brows.gif

OMG i just read about him (NK). His name can be found in several website. What a scammer. I wonder if those Marimo clips in youtube belongs to him, really unbelievable summore his profile said he is Christian ph34r.gif huh? My butt lah. Luckily i bought it from you LeeYung rclxms.gif .

By right it should be able to grow as big as you want.since it grows 5mm per year,it might take very long to grow into huge balls.


Added on July 30, 2012, 11:14 pmanyway,1 question to other marimo owners.
Do your marimo carry out photosynthesis frequently and have bubbles on it?
Is it daily basis?

Cause mine dont have bubbles edi..last time got a few(less than 10) when i just got them..

As for the water..should i put in pipe water or filtered water?
*
Mine bubbling almost everytime when i do water changes. Try give it a few gentle squeeze to clear the water inside partially then gently roll it and put it back into the water. Pipe or filtered water both no problem nod.gif

Hello all
I recently bought Marimo too^^
It's from Strapya, Marimo Phone Charm
Wondering, I saw many pictures in Internet that Nano Marimo isn't as small as mine that I bought from Strapya (5mm diametre)
and this is my first time I owned Marimo >.<

Wondering is Marimo 5mm size like mine need more special care? since it's reaaally small
yesterday It's photosynthes-ing..then today it didn't, so I try to change the water, and push it with my finger a little on tissue so the old water getting out, then it starts Photosynthes-ing (pearling) again

Why It didn't photosynthes-ing before? O_o" do I need to press it to let the water out everyday so It can photosynthesis?

thanks alot!

The name of "Nano Marimo" was created by a pioneer seller and member of Lowyat here named Lee Yung. Of course if you surf around here you'll see lots of others name like LY, Lyong, LeeY... etc but the person i'm referring to is Lee Yung. The Nano size given for this tiny fella range from 10mm - 15mm. Yours is not nano, it simply just a decorative hp strap, just avoid direct sunlight. There isn't need of any special care for particular sizes if what you have is a genuine one. The photosynthesis only happens if you wash and squeeze it. Generally it's just an algae plant so it won't move/float or photosynthesis by itself.

but from what i observed...the so call photosynthesis after washing is actually not more than the air bubbles trapped inside the marimo.
Im sure that everyone might have squished the marimo abit to wash out the old/dirty water..but then when we do that,theres some space/air in it which forms air bubbles when we put them back into the water..

So,im not sure if they still photosynthesis or not..maybe they do,but the oxygen formed as a result from it is too small for our naked eye to spot them..
*
If no photosynthesis how it can maintain it's greenish color leh? Anyway i'm not expert but since it only grow so little per year so i can only say its process of photosynthesis is slower than normal plant as it doesn't need much sun light. Mine i placed in the bathroom most of the time and it were so so green like in Dark Greenish color so healthy.
So it's good to hear from a marimo fan here that concern about their marimo but as long as they are healthy you no need to concern about what to see wif naked eye lah hehe biggrin.gif

Me not expert but based on my little experience when it turn alittle lemon green it is better to masuk peti sejuk (not the freeze compartment ok?) . Masuk Nite take out morning, see it turn abit greener or not. I think arh, as a beginner its better to own a thermometer so you can be cautious of temperature changes. When exceed 28 degree celcius just masuk 1 or 2 ice cube in your marimo bottle. Hope tis help.

how to recover it?? I put my marimo in my fridge all day since this morning.. dunno how long it will go back to green hiks hiks
I put a lil salt also in it... do I must put salt again tomorrow?

Is it posible to ask the seller since they are the only one knows the originality of their Marimo. Anyway the curing is not a one night thing, it may take months. Having Marimo in a small bottle as key chain/ hp strap is not reliable at all in my opinion. The bottle so small, the chances you'll let it expose to sun light, the water contain in the small bottle are so so so little( as in summer it requires water changing more frequent). There are some even find that they smell when they open the container to change its water.
In short, you need to ask the seller if they possible to help you.

oh it take months? okay! I try hard to cure this little thing  thumbup.gif
today I see my marimo let out some dirt things (outside the marimo, and some is shredded on the bottom of the bottle)
yes I don't put my marimo in a small bottle anymore.. instead I buy bigger bottle and put it in my 20C air-con room
maybe at night I try to put it in a fridge, but I checked my fridge temperature is 12C..is that okay?
*
Aiyoh this Azure_Fox, it is better to ask the person that sell you this Marimo. Later i gv wrong advice then your little one gone habis. You check wif your seller is it ok to keep it 12C. The person selling you sure keep alot of it before selling it to you, then he must've know how a proper temperature should be as i really dunno what kind of marimo you got there, only the seller know him/herself. I am also new here i just gather info by surfing around the net or ask my own seller LeeYung because i bought mine from him.
Hope everything goes well soon for your little one. nod.gif

If in Malaysia you can easily get in a range of RM8 - RM25 for one. It really depends on the quality, some sell very cheap because of afew deformed finnage or its body or fin grow unproportionate/unbalance.

Hehe tongue.gif i think its enuf talking about betta here. This thread is about Marimo but Betta and Marimo certainly looks good together aren't they? Azure's pic really nice. Anyway I dunno if there is any shop selling daun ketapang in Malaysia as you can see them grow everywhere. To find out how the tree and leaf looks like just google search with image option biggrin.gif

Lee Yung was righ nod.gif t. Anyway it'll be space consuming to add any kind of filteration system in it. If you were to put external filter on the outside it'll look weird. Your tank goes well with Marimo and a pair of guppy inside without aeration it'll do just fine. To make water changing work easy for you i'd suggest changing those gravel to a larger ones.

There is one way to add filtration without taking up much more space - use an undergravel filter with your air pump.

An undergravel filter is simply a perforated "plate" placed under your gravel. Stick an "uplift tube" into this plate, and place your airstone inside the tube. The upward motion of the bubbles will draw water up the pipe, causing more water to get sucked into the gravel, through the plate, and up into the uplift tube. Filtration!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Undergravel_filter.png

http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-magazines/...el-filters.aspx

Note, you'll have to vacuum the gravel regularly as this will become your filter medium. Still, probably better than letting the shit poo fester in your gravel all the time, even without the undergravel filter.
*
nod.gif Me just suggested the simplest way to keep Marimo to Lily_butterfly. Simple is always better for 1st time Marimo owner. Unless he/she has several experience in rearing fish then it will be different story. Anyway if i were to set up an undergravel flteration it would be at least 3ft and above tank size wif plantation and if possible do some landscaping inside the tank macam Japanese garden & bongsai using Carpet Marimo wahahaha laugh.gif . Aiyah still long way to go before my dream came true lol

Cool! my idea is something like this link below but instead of using that plant i'd prefer carpet marimo. A little on the ground and rocks but not so much. Growing rate slow so save alot of trimming job. Well cakap senang hor? lol laugh.gif

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.
