a question to all marimo lovers and experts out there!

1) is it possible that marimo shrinks in diameter size?
i've been playing around with my marimos
like taking them out for massage and compressing them into round shape.

2) i start to realize that water in bowl does not last long as after 4days, it will start to smell...


condition of marimo: all healthily darkgreen smile.gif

please advice.

1)If you compressed too hard, the marimo do shrink in size at that particular moment but after a period, it will back to its normal size, advisable no too squeeze/compress the marimo too hard. Gently and soft squeeze for cleaning will do.

2)Darkgreen =healthy = still alive wink.gif No worries. It is practically normal a bowl of normal water (we call dead water), perform rapid water change or have a tank setup with filter so that you can provide good water circulation in the tank will ensure the freshness of the water and therefore your marimo will live happily, my best tank setup, been 4 months never change water, my marimos do enjoying the "natural" water condition too smile.gif

leeyung, do hope you will post more pics/videos of your super gigantic ball. I wonder with such a size, can it float?

As for my Marimos, they are now in my Marimo+shrimp tank. Love it so much!

if you are mixing them with your marimos, i dont recommend mixing them with crayfish,
they like to eat everything from my experience, even my hard bogwood  sweat.gif
glass shrimps on the other will nibble bit by bits, but in my opinion,
they are eating those black/grey/brown stuffs you noticed when you are washing your marimos.
If you insisted on getting them however, cherry shrimps and CPO/dwarf crayfish is the best. Also, their colours really show some contrast between those greens~
just my 2 cent

thanks luqee, i appreciate any feedback from the pros around me as im a newbie in aqua pet care
so fascinating!
i will heed ur advise and get the cherry shrimps and dwarf crayfish.

i read that cpo may get aggressive against each other
and some sneaks up behind and attack guppies
true?

i have 4 dragon guppies too smile.gif
