fragging mushrooms

[saltburns]

Am trying to remove some mushrooms from a large rock at the bottom of my aquascaping. last sunday removed 5 large ones with an exacto knife and put them on a small rock. wrapped it up in wedding veil netting and set it back in the tank. everything seemed to be going well and yesterday i thought i would take the netting off and see if they were stuck. they werent stuck they were gone. Is there some way to get these off and attached to another rock?

I superglued your mushroom to my rock. They are doubled already.

Any time you put wedding veils on anything it quits producing!!!

Try wrapping a rubber band around them and attach to the rock, wait two weeks should be good.

I put quite a bit of small rubble in a fish net and let it hang down in the water in the tank. I throw a few mushrooms in there and in a few weeks have fully attached mushrooms.

i have a different technique, but its worked in the past.

I drilled a pin tip size hole in the rock i want to use. Fill it with a dab of super glue. put a thumbtack (tooth pick) through the edge of the mushroom/ ric and put it into that hole you made.

Put it in a tuperware in a low flow area of your tank, the superglue is just enough to secure the tack and hold the mushroom in place. Leave it for a couple weeks, and carefully pull the tack out. I use tacks because the toothpicks tend to break when your taking them out. Plus they pull out cleaner.
