Hello,
I have four Marimo Moss balls that are nearly 1.6″ in diameter at this time. I live in Florida, and I breed the Mosquito Fish (FL native species) for personal aquariums, and for the biological control of mosquito pupae & larvae. I lightly flattened three of my moss balls in order to create an appearance of “the perfect” Mosquito Fish spawning bed .
Can Ghost Shrimp or Cherry Shrimp also use the Moss balls as a protective spawning bed?
Will I be able to keep my Ramshorn Snails with a moss ball, without the fear of the snails predation?

I order two baby marimos balls off a different site. I didn’t realize how tiny they were going to be! They’re going to arrive in small jars which are cute, but I was wondering if I could put multiple balls into an aquarium? And which fish could I put in with them that could handle the colder and/or salt water and still be beneficial to my marimos? And If I order a bigger Marimo from your site could I house them together? Also Should I get a bubbler or any other accessories to help them thrive?

You’ve probably heard of making terrarium with moss and ferns, succulent and cacti, and other easy-to-maintain plants, but have you heard of Marimo moss ball terrariums? Marimo (also known as “Japanese Moss Balls”), are a rare and unique species of algae native to Lake Akan in Hokkaido, Japan. The Marimo species is found only in a small number of lakes in the northern hemisphere. Join us to craft your very own whimsical yet practical aquatic ecosystem.

Heyy! will my moss ball go into shock if it is put into cold water to quickly? Also- there is a little brown spot on my little dude, is this normal?

Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a really good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

searching for quite a long time. I hope that it will help me also.

I bought some marimos online and they arrived 3 days ago… I noticed that they seem to be rolled marimos and they’ve been shedding bits of algae fibers… is there a way to prevent them from doing so? I don’t want them to shrink or have bald spots on them…

In reply to Rudje.

Hi There:

Could you tell me how many marimos would fit in a half-gallon container?

Thanks much.
