fragging green stripe shrooms questions


im needing to frag a BUNCH of green stripe mushrooms....and i have some qeustions since ive never fragged any of these before....

what is the BEST way of doing this? sewing it to the rock or netting?

im not even gona attemot super glue on these....too slimy....

and doubt rubber bands are gona hold either....

ive read that you can "sew" them to the rock by just sticking the needle thru the stalk and use monofilament 10lb test or smaller fishin line....
anyone ever done it this way???

and the netting.....what type and size of netting should i use?


im gona be fraggin whole head..not gona be cutting them to pieces.....thats why im wondering about SEWING them in place....

also.....once i get it done im gona setup my lil 20g tank again in the bedroom as a temporary frag tank.....would regular single tube flourecent lights be enuff for the shrooms???

When I frag a shroom I just cut just below the head of it and then put the cuttings in a shallow cup with a old fish net on it rapped with a rubber band. I have a frag tank I set up with a t8 florescent haven't put anything in it yet but if it's shallow I don't see why it wouldn't work. But some else will chime in and tell you more I'm sure.

I've superglued them before, but it doesnt work as well as with stony corals. Either of those other choices work, but I've not used the netting idea myself. Not sure what to get. I have threaded softies to a rock, though, and it works just like you point out. Though if you're like me (read: very lazy), start with a rubber band and see where that goes.
