how tough are mushrooms and xenia?

[colourmop]

i just done my cycle last week and put my hermit crabs+snails in friday, just wondering if i could put in 1-2 mushrooms by monday (blue+purple mushrooms are onsell) some people told me mushrooms are tough enough to stay in a new tank (everything is 0, pH 7.9-8) how about xenia? are they as tough as mushrooms?
thanks

I put my mushrooms in before my tank even cycled. they are doing fine. xenia i don't know about.

Xenia and shrooms are both very hardy, xenia grows like weeds too.

Shrooms are very very Hardy, but Xenia can be iffy, I was told that some people have a tough time with them from keeping them from dying and thriving while other people have it growing so much the are either fragging it and selling, giving or trading it away! There is a theory that xenia like nitrates and the people with some nitrates in thier tank are the one having the most success, dare i say like myself, LOL Good Luck,,

I've actually been told that they do way better under not as good water conditions.
