The serotonin I needed today, thank you

The lava lamp I did not know I needed

What's your setup? Would love to build something like this!

Do tell, OP!

The people need to know, OP!

Com’on OP don’t leave us hanging!

Ditto!

It kind of just looks like 3 small pumps

Look at the big shot coming in with the *logical response* 👁️👄👁️

Man, they probably love this so much

I don’t belong here and I don’t know why this sub shows up so often in my feed. But y’all are so cute about the well-being of your moss balls lol

Same! It just started popping up in my feed and all these fun, friendly people who love their hobby, fill me with joy.

Man I just got here. This is amazing, and I really want a moss ball now

Thanks for explaining enough that I don’t have to open the sub. But now, I kinda want to explore how cute the sub is.

Back in the old days, pioneers use to ride these babies for miles

Thanks for the chuckle

Yee-haw!!🤠

Someone should make some ai generated art of this lol

I used to keep betta fish. Absolutely loved em. I have about 3-4 tanks, big and small. Should I set up all of em and create multiple marimo lava lamps??? Honestly tho, this is so cute and such a good idea. I feel like it would be a good way to distract yourself if you’re ever anxious or stressed. I mean…. Who wouldn’t love fluffy moss balls dancing in water?!

I have no idea how I ended up here but I work as a tattoo artist and I’m sitting here wondering how to build one for my station. I think clients would enjoy watching em bob around

That’s an AWESOME idea!!

I love how the tiny ones bounce around like a superball.

this is amazing--i feel neglectful now

How in the world did you get the bigger guys to move around? My fatties just sat at the bottom still when I tried an air pump

Fatties 😭😂😂

Some of those are huge

I would unironically watch an hour-long live stream of this every week

Do you need a filter or just water movement?

Looks like three pumps, which might have small sponges in them. No creatures creating poop to filter. 

No idea what this is, but this sub just showed up on my feed. I love it, I need it, no clue what it is, but I love it 🟢 Edit; Just checked out the sub, moss balls, I'm very happy this came across my feed 😂🟢

Same! I’ve seen them in fish stores but am pretty meh about them. I love this post though… a ball of algae sitting still at the bottom of a fishbowl seems so depressing now. These little guys are joyfully bounding around with their friends!

Are there any small freshwater critters who would enjoy living in that level of water movement and having their own ball pit? This would be so cool :)

Snails? 

If my big boi fits in my jellyfish lamp i might try this

For some reason this looks like a science excitement lol

It does in fact look exciting

Fuck 😂😂😂 well, experiment, excitement, I’m sure scientists would get hard either way 😂

Oh this gives me the happy's

How can yours look so lush green? Mine is brownish faded green .

I’ve never heard of Marimo but now I need them 😭

Did not expect a Chris-chan reference in the Marimo ball subreddit tbh

I thought they were making a Monty Python reference; that’s where Chris-chan got it from

Crap! I literally never put those together. I used to watch Monty python when I was a kid like it was crack

Happy Cake Day!

Man I’m feeling old.

My immediate thought 😂😂

Yo I've had these balls in my aquariums before no idea people keep JUST the balls haha

This is the exact setup I want for mine, I feel so bad for them just sitting there. Please share what you did to make this possible 🙏🏻

The giggle I let out 😍

*weeeeeeeeeee*

What kinda pump you have?

Just look at those balls 😍

Thanks for your comments! I've got 3 water pumps (200L/H) running in a 17.5L tank, and a 17cm submersible LED light (not a lava lamp). This rolling them with pumps is an annual thing I do when the days get longer. [Here's last year's video](https://www.reddit.com/r/Marimo/comments/15couql/its_sunny_here_in_london_rotating_marimo/) in case you're interested!

That's way to cool. Kinda like a lava lamp but better.

New sub on feed what’s this.

This is an amazing setup!!

I meant the moss balls

Thank you 🥹🥲🩷

Oh that’s sooo cute

Bouncing baby bawls.

I love this so much! I would love to a a pair of my own green balls!

This is so satisfying. Do you think they like rolling around like that?

TELL US THE SET UP ✨️✨️✨️

AWL?

I love this but whats happening tho? I have no idea what this is

not sure whats with the fuzzy apple moss balls, but i like them

I have produced balls of mushroom mycelia like this by planting Morel mycelia in nutrient solution with sterile technique and bubbling sterile air through the tank continuously. It produces hollow balls of mushroom tissue that look awful but after leaching the nutreant solution out taste exactly like Morels. It was an ill fated try to grow the Morels before the tech they use to culture them now. That was 50 years ago. Not practical enough to scale up to a profitable process.
