My plant, Fred, is a pet. If you knew how hard I have to try to keep the thing alive you would agree with me lol. I have a much easier time with fish.
Me, too!!! I just don't understand why it's so damn hard to keep a plant alive - all I have to do is water it! I seem to kill plants just by looking at them. Thankfully, aquarium plants are easier, but I recently took in a little root bound daisy, and I'm praying I don't kill him
I'm interested in purchusing marimo moss one day. Would anyone mind telling me the care? Do they require fertilizer?
No, they are the easiest plants ever! That's why I bought one They're happy with regular light, or light from a window, and they don't need any ferts. In Japan, they are kept in jars as pets.
I bought Clyde, who is almost baseball sized, from Petco for $10. That was before I knew there were so many better priced ones on eBay! In fact, I just got 5 baby moss balls for 99 cents :)
Yeah all I did was put mine in the tank after I QT then for a week and are doing fine..lol Never seen them move though. I got mine on ebay. You can see one over in the corner on the left side of my profile pic.
I have 3, as of yesterday, and I love them! I originally bought Clyde, and loved him; then I bought Seymour. Yesterday, Seymour had a baby I cannot even explain how excited I was! The baby one doesn't have a name yet, but he will soon... Also, I just won my first eBay auction, EVER - 5 nano moss balls from Malaysia for 99 cents!
Just a warning, I've never had plants or moss from overseas not get taken by customs. It's no fun to get an empty package. Aqmagic was one of the worst.

Actually you are right. I do not have a green thumb and plants are much harder for me than fish. So maybe I should be more excited about my moss ball considering it's still alive. lol
