 | keep marimo balls down |
greenfootball  Fish Addict Posts: 613 Kudos: 360 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jul-2001   | i am sick of moving them back to where they are suppose to be every couple days, is there a way to keep them stay?? i was thinking about sticking a piece of lead weight into the actual ball that way it'll be heavier and have a "root" to burry under the sand, will that hurt the moss ball?? |

You should turn it every couple of days, so it will keep the rounded shape. If you have strong currents in your tank, the Marimo Balls will move around, no matter what you do. You can try to stick a piece of Lead & see what happens, but mine stay at the bottom of the tank all the time & i just turn them around, when i'm cleaning or changing water. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

Eventually they will roll again after a day or two. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
