What is a good glue i can use to put in the tank to mend rocks?

Usually, i just put the shrooms in the tank, no acclimation at all. They are hearty!! As far as attaching them(if loose)....put them on the bottom in very low water flow or try putting a small piece of rubble rock in a bottom of a shallow drinking glass and put the shrooms on the rock. Than, set that on the bottom of your tank. You can try to superglue them to a rock, but most times they will slime an just float anyway. HTH

I never accilmate any of the shrooms. All I do and the LFS in this area is to place them on a paper towel for about 2 or 3 minutes to allow them to unpump themselvs of the old water they came in, then place em in the tank where you want them and its over with.........They may start to pump right back up within a few minutes or take a day or so or even longer...as it seems they all have a mind of their own and different types and even colors have varying ways........but its no biggie as they are virtually idiot proof and hard to damage.......Super glue gel (any kind and brand) will work. Rocks don't even have to be dry.
