local pet store sells algae as a plant!

Well, I got what I think are true Marimo balls about a month ago. They are already sending off little tufts to multiply, and those tufts could easily be mistaken for regular hair algae. Sometimes I wonder how much difference there actually is.
 
well, if you want the planted look and can't get your plants to grow...

it may be cladophora algae just not rolled to make marimo balls

The clado that makes up marimo balls is not forcefully rolled into balls to "make" them into marimo - it grows that way.

You guys can laugh all you want but when I first started many many moons ago before I got my plant/CO2/fert balance sort of right I had the prettiest patch of that stuff.

I thought it was pretty (yeah I was a total newb!) so I let it grow for a bit on top of a statue as "hair" yeah I can hear you all laughin'

Finally figured out it wasn't some great new plant so I twirled it up and put it where it belonged!! But for a while there the budda lady in my avatar had a hair algae hat!

Swore I wasn't going to tell anybody that....must be gettin' late.
