My marimo. smile.gif

I have a question, recently I notice that my marimo doesn't produce air bubbles anymore whenever I expose it to light, is there any problem?


Added on August 24, 2011, 4:04 amJust now went change the water, notice the water is very smelly, and my marimo is getting soft and shrinking, they are sick already, and I think they are dying, oh noes... sad.gif No wonder not producing bubbles anymore, poor marimo.

I changed the water every week, and put them in a sealed tight jar, just like in the photo, and every morning I put it outside window, again just like in the photo. I guess I'm doing something wrong here T_T..

So now I changed the water, rub them in circular motion so that all the dirty water being squeezed out and also to keep them in shape. After that I put some salt into it, seal the jar tight and put it in the fridge, may I know is there anything I missed out?

Hope they are all right.
