Meet Puni!!!!

[kaoskat]

After seeing one in the fish thread, I did some research and then went out and got a marimo!!!! It's so CUTE!!!! His name is Puni!!! I was going to put him in with my Siamese Fighting Fish but he prefers cooler temps while Alternity prefers warmer ones, so I decided not to.

OMG I just looked these up!! So cute where can I get one?

[kaoskat]

I got Puni at PetSmart. I was going to wait and research a bit more before getting one but when I got there Puni was just so round and perfect and the others were more lopsided and so I had to have THIS one! So now I've been reading marimo sites all afternoon. LOL

My goodness, that is awesome. Puni is cute!
I wish I could get one too, but I don't do good with stuff that lives in water.

LOL That is awesome, and adorable

I need to show that to Thoth Kaos, she will love it.  But exactly what is it?

[gemini_pony]

It is a ball of moss.

He's this neat species of Japanese algae that grows in a ball! You just plop him in some filtered water and make sure he doesn't get direct sun and his water doesn't get too hot. He's awesome!!!! Oh, and you have to roll him around sometimes so he can get light on all sides.

That is the cutest ball of algae ever!  Now I want one too 

[Diamond]

Oh god I so better not show Thoth she is gonna want one for sure.  He does need google eyes though.

[kaoskat]
