Just purchased my first few marimos from leeyung, and now can't wait for them to arrive!

Planning to put one on my office desk and the rest into my fish tank at home.

My marimos from leeyung! They are now in my fish tank with my angel, danios, kribs and pleco.



I am sure more will be added.

Is the fish tank light that I am using ok for the marimos? I usually only turn them on for 2-3 hours at night.

That's the carpet marimo. It is indeed very cute cos it happens to be balancing on a rock and rotating with the water current. Been doing that for a few hours already.

A colleague saw my Marimo and asked why I have a dead hamster in the bottle.

Safe to put marimo with pleco. My pleco has no interest in it at all.

Got a dymax cooling fan for my Marimos. Reduce the tank's temperature from abt 30°C to 27°C.

Haha..won't happen lo. Too expensive! You also a newbie to Marimo?

Mine is a turbo fan? Gosh din even know that. Looks like a simple PC fan.

Nice tank! Only 1 Marimo?

It's a little bit noisy though...but I should not complain as it's the cheapest I could find.
Well it still works in reducing the temperature.

Yes, 40++. That's the cheapest I could find ler unless DIY.

I think my office Marimo is pregnant la. It felt like a lump.

Please teach how you DIY the fan.
The one I bought is now keeping the tank's temperature at 26 C.

I think Marimos are so addictive... or is it just me? My Marimo family is continuously growing & I love how they look in my tank!

Hehe... Nope... but I have strong urge to purchase more and more.... Help!!

Am considering but will need to wait till next month cos this month's Marimo budget already blown.
Anyhow I think I need therapy to get over my obsession.

When I got it, it already has some patches of brown. These patches seem to be less brown now.

I just added a crayfish or "Tropical Red Lobster" (as called by Pets Lover Centre at Ikano) into my fish tank where my Marimos are. Straight away I see it chomping on one nano before going around looking for something else (perhaps Marimo not so tasty??). Anyhow I decided not to take the risk and took out all my nanos.

It didn't seem to be interested in my giants though, so I left them there. As leeyung advised previously, I will feed it. However I will be away for a few days soon. So am not sure whether my giants will be safe with it. Anyone has any experience with this?

Even the giants ah? Aiya like that I need to put on a barrier in my tank already. What have I done?!! I just invited a wolf into my herd of sheeps.

Welcome to the world of Marimos. I wonder whether you will become heavily "poisoned" like me.

They look very nice in a tank with all the fish. I have this vision.... to have marimos covering all my tank's floor. That will look so cool ... and will also mean I have to eat maggi mee everyday for my meals.

leeyung, you pictures very nice leh. The marimos look so "happy".
