Removing A Mushroom

[heath]

I have a rock with 2 types of mush on it and one of the mush is growing over another one, is there a way to get the mush off the rock. I have never fragged/removed anything from a rock so I will need very simple instruction's, thanks

Just reach in and pull it off. You can put the ones you pull off in a container with rubble so they reattach.

You can cut it off or razor blade it off to. Or place a small rock at the base and wait a week till it grows on. Then pull it off.

thanks, not big on cutting it off, I have never done anything like that before, will try the rock and hopefully it moves..

You can stick mushrooms in a blender and they will grow from the pieces if tank is stable and healthy. I would not be worried about it ripping.

you guys make it sound so easy,,

Unibob is right Heath - just don't set the blender to liquefy ! ; )
I cut off an overgrown mushroom with scissors while it was on a rock and it was perfectly fine
Where I made the cut, another mushroom grew out of the stump !

ok, do I need to glue it to a rock and if so what type of glue would I use..

 

[averhoog]

Heath you need to pout in a jar with rubble in the bottom to give it some time to stick on

 

[heath]

thank you very much...

Yeah glue wont work they protective slime itll give off wont allow you to glue it down.

Heather - if you're really uncomfortable cutting it. Just bring the rock over and I can give you a quick lesson on fragging mushrooms.
But it's very simple.

thanks Eric, I just might do that, I am not comfortable cutting it. I only have 2 heads of the mush that is getting crowded out..I don't want to destroy it..it could be a bit before I get there, NEED to do the plumbing on the other tank and get it running. Its not real attractive having an empty glass box sitting in the living room..

 

[EricTMah]

No problem Heather. Just shoot me a msg whenever you're ready. I'm usually free most weekends.

It's simple and only takes a min. Once I show you once. You'll be comfortable doing it after.

I don't believe you can kill it even just by ripping it off the mushrooms would likely grow back on the stub that's left behind

You can even use a pair of side cutters and clip a piece of the rock off with the mushroom

I was going to show her how to frag it off the rock. Then use kalk paste to kill off what's left behind to ensure it doesn't grow back.

I have watched several of the video's, still not comfortable but I am sure if shown in person by someone that has done it I will be less nervous...

you have a better chance at winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning than killing those
