Awiee Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just asking a simple question, have this piece in tank for 2. 5 years already, sure its getting bigger but why isn't it splitting itself? Fews weeks ago bought a green rhodactis which was smaller than this but decided to pinch itself and split within weeks... Is it just the mushroom itself or what Can I do something else to let him split naturally? Besides cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PulposTriste Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 From my experience, stress/change in environment causes them to split, just like BTAs. And also, I've accidentally shredded one of my rhodactis one day when I tried to cut the rock, splitted it into 3 pieces. I've also torn some of them off frag-racks they got stuck to. Pretty much all of them grew back, quite hard to kill haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochi Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Normally I place another frag plug/rock under the mushroom and hoping it will grow on it. Sometimes it eventually splits, I'm guessing this is probably due to the uneven surfaces. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awiee Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 I have a frag that is hanging on the edge with another rock at the bottom, tried to remove the glued rock only to realize it had already attach it foot to the bottom rock, hope it leaves a foot and make more bbs haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochi Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Nice! You can also try adding more small rocks or rubble below it for it to slowly grow on multiple rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awiee Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Update, he decided to split!!! Finally All it takes is some twist and turn to annoy him once in a while so he moves and splits on his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awiee Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Another piece which I put in a moderately high flow area decide to split up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
