Marimo moss carpet.

Marimo moss ball i want to carpet that you idea is wonderful i will consider doing that in the betta tank wonderful. It s for my 50 gallon tank i want it to look more like home for the fish so if you know how to do it please give me all details on how to do this. The species can be found in a number of lakes and rivers in japan and northern europe. An i am absolutely in love with how the marimo moss looks i googled it as a carpet an the tanks i saw was stunning an i wanted to do my kids 50 with it.

I have a few specific questions already. Basicaslly i bought a moss marimo ball instead of what i meant to go and get which was ghost shrimp anyways i will get pics up at some point but i m wondering is there any way of making a carpet like thing on the bottom. I want to use marimo moss balls cut in half or in thirds and then sewn together as a carpet on probably 75 100 of the gravel to help mimic the rolling hills in the shire. I am aware there is the mesh method but i don t know how i cut it up haha.

Yeah it s time to upgrade. Meet the marimo moss ball these pet friendly balls are often referred to as moss balls but they re actually not moss at all. Although i just chuck it in the tank and forget about it under all my other plants. I ve never had success with the stuff.

The marimo ball is a small algae colony known as aegagropila linnaei that s native to the lakes of japan and northern europe.
