Just to share, I haven't changed the water for my marimo for more than 3 months, no smelly water, no brownish and it's just as healthy.

alassss... my marimo recover from it's brown spot..
fiuhhh really take a loooonggggg time since i bought it at july 12,

I accidentally put my marimo on the window sill on morning till 12pm today. I went out thinking that today weather was cloudy. and when i come back, it was quite sunny. I have an awning for that window. Its not really sunny but theres still light. I dunno if its me but my marimo looked less green.

And there's a small gap (butt line my sister called it) on one of my nano marimo. I wonder why suddenly theres a gap there.

Did i just kill it? T_T

I realize that my Marimo has some brown spots when I squeeze it dry during washing. It was like that when I received it and I thought it was normal. And it has gaps in between too.. What should I do? Is it dead already?

i quarantine it,
put it in a basket, filled with mineral water, add a tiny pinch of salt
then put in a place with low-medium lighting and cool place.
putting in a refrigerator might help, if the fridge got an on 24/7 LED bright cool daylight specs.

Results after 3 months:
less and less brown patch on my super giant marimos..lol..

The gap might be signs of it becoming a carpet marimo @.@ if its green, then its alive haha~
and am not sure which salt can use, table salt (human eats) or sea salt (for aqua livings) @.@
coz from wat I googled, seems like we cant use table salt as it'll kill living beings underwater ^^"

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.

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!!

urgent!
two of my marimo start to turn yellow... Temp is 22C, and i change water every 2 weeks
I was trying to use the evian mineral water, would that be the reason why they turned yellow?
and will my marimo recover?

bought it in osaka 2 years ago, i am using back normal tap water and wish them recover soon!
they are not really yellow, just lost their fresh green colour.

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?

Just receive my Marimo from bro LeeYung   

1 Giant and 1 nano , both of them is in the Horlicks bottle now  

This is my very first time handling this cute little ball , hope i can take good care of them and anyway i just finish reading this thread from page1 to 99  haha ... i'm new here everybody and sifus ... happy to be an owner of this cute little ball 

haha ...  

another tank don't know where to put lo    , i think of buying a bigger glass to put them in   

put tank not portable , put glass can let them enjoy fridge spa every night   

Anyone selling moss ball in penang ? @@ i can't seems to find any

i just receive my marimo...huhu.. cute...

so far anyones marimo doing well after few months without tank setup?

my giants are getting less greener, parts already looks abit whitish under room light when you squeeze it dry, less noticeable in water. I don't have a tank so i put them in those rm5 plastic display casings from japanese shop, have a fan blowing but doesn't really cool much during afternoon, it's not in direct sunlight, i put ice cubes after work & use fluorescent desk lights for an hour. Change water every week and in between throw out some water for ice cubes. Squeeze them every week they will stink in 1st few squeeze.

i gave up putting salt as i don't see any improvements.

i also gave up giving spa treatment as i see one test unit has become much less greener after few weeks in the fridge. I torn it out the inside still dark green but outside mostly very light green/whitish. So i left them in public fish pond.

any advice as i've done most recommendations here & online. it seems bigger morimos get sick easier than small ones. i'm guessing the rest of the giants will probably end up in the pond at this rate...

ps some of my nano marimo are starting to become pacman also...

Haha MyMarimo and z_koon, nicely done, btw the hyperlink seems to be not correct for both of you Shall hyperlink this thread instead
