what do u mean like in half? or cut just the mouth off? i'm very nervous because i've never done fragging.

 

[nycbob]

cut the mouth part in half.

ok so first i cut the shroom off the stalk then i cut the shroom in half then i put it in a container with live rock rubble then i cover it with a mesh like thing?

 

[nycbob]

yes. but u dont hv to cut off its stark. just try to cut it close to its mouth as possible.

 

[fishissues]

well if i cut the stem will it make another shroom or will it just die?

 

[nycbob]

yes it will.

its hard to mess up fraggins shrooms and the lieks, they're invincible, except i lost some cuz the current took them to the back before i secured them on rock, so i have small mushrooms in the back of my tank now

thanks for the help, also one more question i have a cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp, when i put the shroom in wouldnt the shrimps pick at it? Just like they pick at wounds and stuff?

put it in a tupperware container with a lid and holes in your tank
they cant get to it that way

my shrimps never touch my shrooms when i frag them. i just leave them on the rock then cut it in half and sometimes i do it in four and they do good no prob healing. if you would like to see a video on fragging (reefkprz) on here has some good vids
