So the petsmart closest to me got marimo balls in. I think I'm going to buy one for $8. I'd like to have a bunch in my aquariums, but I don't want to spend so much money for a bunch of balls... :tongue: I read online that marimo balls out compete other species or algae for nutrients which I think is awesome. I also read about how they reproduce and I would love to try it but I don't want to take apart an $8 ball of algae and it not work according to plan so I was wondering if there was anyone who has had success doing this and what your technique was.
