kas,

I believe any of the superglue gel forumulas should work OK. Figure about two frags per small tube!


I transplanted my shrooms over the weekend. Little slimey suckers!! Not looking very good right now, I'll take some pics as the perc up. My harry legged crabs kept trying to pull them loose so I sentenced them to the sump until they learn to behave :)

YOU CAN USE CRAZY GLUE IN WATER?!?! THATS NUTS! it doesn't hurt the fish at all?
So far, so good. I've gone through 2 tubs in my nano alone. I just recieved a bunch of new zoos and stuck them in about 5 different places. Pics ASAP.

how did they go knifeman...
I need to learn this technique... I wish you could do a picture how to.. that would be an awesome sticky !!!

I've fragged stoney corals and xenias but never shrooms.. I have a couple of red one sI got frm mogurnda I think ar large enough to try a frag
and I have some pretty blues I would like to get onto anouther rock.. maybe the toothpick method.

When you slice then "head off" how much ar eyou talking about.. just run an exacto across the bottom side of the mushroom head and then toothpick it into anouther rock.. is it that simple?

I'll tell you what...........

Shrooms, Xynias and Neon Sinulara, just cut off a piece, stick it somewhere and it will grow!! I had pieces that my crabs broke loose and floated around in my tank where I couldn't get to them, now they are anchored and growing. I aint got no green thumb either......or salty thumb or whatever it takes to grow saltwater critters :D

well I have heard people saying you must get part of the mouth and I am wondring do you just slice the thing in half like 2 equal size peices right in the middle?

what if you just cut a flap off without the mouth.. will the cutting just die without a mouth or will it grow one...

could you do it with scissors while it is streched out underwater.. just reach down and clip a big peice off quickly...
