Mossball / cladophora / gorgone

Post by titelili1910 »

Bonjour à tous, :)

Je vais sauter le pas très prochainement pour transférer mes crevettes enfermées dans une boule écosphère vers un nano aquarium. :wink:

Cependant, j’avais plusieurs interrogations :

1- Est-ce que la mossball recommandée par Mustapha est l’équivalent d’une
cladophora ? Où est ce 2 espèces différentes ?

2- J’ai actuellement une petite gorgone dans l’écosphère que j’aimerais
remettre dans le nano aquarium. Est-ce conseillé ? Et si oui, savez vous où
on peut en acheter davantage ?

Merci pour vos futures réponses :wink:

TRADUCTION :

Good morning everyone, :)

I will take that step very soon to transfer my shrimps locked in an ecosphere ball to a nano aquarium. : wink:

However, I had several questions:

1- Is the mossball recommended by Mustapha the equivalent of a
cladophora? Where are these two different species?

2- I currently have a small gorgon in the ecosphere that I would like
put back in the nano aquarium. Is it advisable? And if so, do you know where
Can we buy more?

Thanks for your future answers :wink:

Mustafa has stated that his mossball is a unique brackish variation that appeared spontaneously in his tanks. It is not a marimo moss ball. They are slow growing and reproduce by budding. If you want one, I would just buy one from him to make sure you don't accidentally pollute your tank with a species that will slowly die in the brackish water.

Not sure what a gorgon is, besides the mythical Greek creatures :lol: Is it a plant? Can you post a pic?

Edited to say: Anything that was already in the ecosphere should be safe to include in the new tank.

Good evening @super Jess, thank you for taking the time to answer me.
So for the foam ball, I would have liked to buy it but I live in France and there is no delivery so far...
For the gorgon, I attach a picture for you to see what I currently have in the ecosphere.

Just to help. The "gorgon" is a piece of sea fan. Since it hasn't caused any problems in the ecosphere, it certainly won't in a larger container.
