Marimo World #2: My large marimo 6.5cm

I have three LARGE marimos (about 5, 6 and 6.5cm)

which cost me GBP11.00 from a local pet store.

That means this marimo is about GBP3.67 each.

I knew that buying marimo online would be cheaper

but I don't know why....once upon a time...

on that awful day...

 I fall in love with these three at the first sight...lol.

So I bought them without thinking twice.

When I got home, I felt awful and wanted to return them

and buy new ones online at eBay which are absolutely much cheaper.

I could get two marimos of the same size for only GBP3.49.

That means this marimo could have been bought for only GBP1.75 each.

But I paid GBP3.67 each!!!!

On the next day, I went to the shop again

and told them to return these three marimos because I had changed my mind.

Unfortunately, they don't accept returns (if we don't have reasons)

for aquatic plants and fish.

The reason is quite sensible because they can't put

the plants or fish back into their tank.

Any fish or plants that we have brought home and put into our aquarium

might have been polluted or stuff like that.

They can't take this risk.

This really makes sense.

So I had to accept their brilliant reason and

took my expensive marimos back home with a smile.

I don't mind because they are big and healthy until now.

So I am glad to have them.

...and many days after this incident,

I purchased ten SMALL marimos (moss balls) online.

Please refer to this link.

There is also EXTRA SMALL marimo sold which is about 0.5-1cm.
They should be about 1 year old.
They are also called nano marimo.

I will make a few myself next time!

Bye now!!!
