Hello,
Can Anyone Give Some Info On How To Frag Xenia ? I Purchased One Stock Aprox. 5 Months Ago And It Has Split 6 Times. During Huricane Katrina The Store That Sold It To Me ( Cool Kat Mom And Pop Type Store ) Lost Power And 90% Of His Stock Died Including All Of His Xenia. I Like To Suprise Him And Give Him Back A Pice. The Zenia In My Tank Are On Lr. Please Help.

Do you have any problems getting your Xenia to pulse? I have a small stalk and it looks OK but It has never "pulsed" in the 4 weeks that I have had it. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of some...I love the way that stuff looks in a well kept tank.
Thanks, Ken

Easiest stuff in the world to frag. Just cut it! I use a scissors. Just leave about 1/4" of the stalk left on the rock, and you should see new heads in a few days to a week.
Now the tough part is getting it to attach to something else. Some people use rubber bands, some superglue, some "sew" it on with thread. I just wedge it between two small pieces of rock and it will attach to one of them.

Jeez, I can't get mine to stop fragging. Of course, my CB shrimp likes to do a little pruning and leaves the stalks laying around in the refuge. I now have like 50 little frags pumping away.

Check your pH levels, they can be real sensitive to a pH too low.
