So I don't know if me and my sis are the only ones that do that but we named our moss balls.

There's Dr.Moss, Tribble and Gremlin.

What about your moss balls?

I'm going to get a Marimo this weekend with a heater. Going to name it Brat or Sir Fluffykins

LOL You are so funny!

Is it weird that I'm thinking of naming my java fern now? xP

 

[Cinderwolf]

I named mine Young Niel, from scott pilgrim LOL He is little. Once hegets big he can graduate to Niel.

Happy to know were not the only ones who do that. Haha! In Japan, marimo moss balls are actually kept as pets. They get aquariums for themselves. :-D

The one in Ghost's tank is Tumbleweed. The one in Chicory's tank is Beignet

 

[wystearya]

I call mine Pygmy Puff.

 

[WildFlower]

Thats so funny! I'm from Japan (currently living in the US) and I have three nano marimo's as pets!! There names are: Haru, Shu, and Hijikata......and right now I am thinking of getting a bigger one for my betta tank.

 

[Gen2387]

Great! Thanks for confirming my facts. I always thought it was kinda cool that people keep them as pets!

 

[Fluval]

Mine is named Wheatley.

 

[Ramble]

Aagh! Now I have to name my moss ball or it will sit and pout...

 

[BeckyFish97]

I personally dont have one...but it I did I would call it Bob

 

[ZackyBear]

Scooter would be an entertaining name

 

[06460ish]

Just picked one up. I think she'll be called Cupid, since she'll be in a tank with Valentine the betta. I love seeing people's moss ball names!

 

[RubynRed1978]

May i ask WHY they are kept as pets in Japan? Always love learning new things and different cultures

Thanks

 

[cousiniguana]

This is brilliant. Now I need 10 names....

 

[Axeria]

My marimo is called Algeir "Alge" is Algae in Norwegian And "Geir" is a comon boys name here so I just made the name up really lol!

 

[Greenapp1es]

My moss ball is named "Red Shirt."

 

[Kaxen]

I named mine Doug, but now it's Doug-ettes because it went rotten in the middle and broke into pieces.

 

[Nikki86]
