I have 3 little misfit frags- a zoo and 2 shrooms.

They have refused to attach to anything.

Soooo Im gonna make them (hopefully)

This seems to work so far.

What you need:

A clean shotglass or small glass of proper size.

Little pieces of rock

Some bridal veil

A rubber band

The frag

What you do:

Fill the glass about 1/2 with tank water
Add pieces of rock to cover the bottom

Add your frag and try to get them to land face up on a rock. This is not as easy as it sounds.

If the frag has been in your tank for awhile I suggest going with the veil

If it is new to your tank or under stress no veil

The veil really cuts the circulation and if your shroom is oozing it wont take long to kill it.

When putting the frag back in the tank sink it VERY VERY slowly. That way you minimize any flood of water into the glass

Here are some pics of my frags:

First is a blue mushroom you can see him on the left side of the opening.
Second is a single zoo. I hope he attaches....

Thanks for sharing your method for attaching zoos and shrooms. This method gets discussed often on different websites but there are usually not very many good photos of this method in use. Your photos came out great.

I just hope they attach. LOL

All three are misfits and have not attached to anything yet.

That green zoo is really nice and I only have one.
