Marimo Balls

[marimo]

So I had a fish tank and like 6 gold fish and the only things that survived after my neglectful friends non-existing actions was my three Marimo balls!

So two of them got shredded thanks to the hungry goldfish and one lucky retained shape.

I have them all by themselves now in a 2.5 gallon tank.

If anyone can answer is it a good idea to have a air stone inside to aerate the Marimo?

They are all I have left so I'm trying to take very special care of them...

Thanks

Just turn them over once a week, biweekly water changes and indirect sunlight.

I agree with the above or you can use air to create some constant movement in it.

What size tank are the 6 goldies in?

the gold fish are sad to say, dead now...
they were in my 40-45 gallon tank and were happy til business called and people for got about them

i got them all for 25 cent 4-5 years ago and they grew from pinkie size to 4-5 in long!

kinda miss them, but thats y i dont name them or else its even more sad...

and it might also explain why im sticking strictly to plants from now on...

LOL. I've got one sitting on the computer desk in my office.

Starting with plants is a very good idea IMO and I wish more people would get the set right before they bring in the stars of the show. How's that for a random analogy?

Truly, it's the one option to have a beautiful aquarium even during cycling without risking any animal health.
