Fragging Toadstool (how often)


well i fragged it for the 1st time 3 weeks ago, & the mother colony appears to be growing faster now, esp. after starting to use CoralAccel once agian.
so i was wondering how often can i frag the mother colony without killing or severly damaging it.? & can i glue the frags insted of letting them attach manually, they wont stay put where theres lots of current.

You can frag it as often as you like. As yo already found.....fragging can stimulate growth.

I tend to glue EVERYTHING.....but leathers are the one thing i dont glue because leather frags are usually large and it would be a huge waste of glue. They will attach in a couple of days if you simply get a wide rubbberband... and rubberband it to the rock you want it to attach to. Once attached simply cut the rubberband off

i would give it a couple of more weeks to heal. when i frag a mother colony, i give it about 6 - 8 weeks to fully heal, before fragging again.
