Marimo balls prefer brackish water?

Post by Harry »

I have read that Marimo moss balls prefer brackish water. The article I read also says to add salt to freshwater if the Marimo ball gets brown spots. I am hoping this is correct.

Marimo balls will decay over time in brackish water. They are not suitable for an opae ula shrimp tank.
