I wanted my Xenia to attach to the back wall. Now that it has, and after seeing how fast this stuff grows, I'm wondering if I made a mistake. I'm trying to get the gsp to attach and compete for space. Hopefully, this will contain it. I got this Xenia on April 17th. What is in this tank is frags from the 'mother colony' that I've moved to my tank at home.

That is why using some superglue would help xenia frag to attach itself to a specific rock. Once it has been attached, the growth would start right away. Attaching one xenia frag to another is a complex process and requires some serious time and patience on your end.

But using a rubber band can help you with this process. Simply take a xenia strand and attach it to another frag from some other xenia, tie rubber band all around them and leave them be. They will attach within hours, and once they are attached with others, just enough, you can remove the rubber band as well.

The most consistent method for the sake of fragging xenia is the rock placement method. All you have to do here is cut some of your xenia with the help of scissors or some other sharp tool and place it onto the rock with some clay present.

Allow it to sit there for some time, and hopefully, it will start adhering within hours without any problem. What you can do to make it stick with the rock is to use superglue, it might sound extreme, but it will get the job done. Other than using the grafting method that involves cutting a part of your xenia and placing it onto the rock, there are several other methods that are used for successful fragging.

If you are interested in finding other techniques, then you will find them as follows;. Frag plugs that provide a general surface and some clay and minerals can also be used for sticking xenia stalks onto it. Another oldschool method is to simply squish the xenia between 2 rocks. Let it decided which rock it wants to attach to. If it attaches to both, then use a razor and slice it in half, then you have 2 xenia frags;D.

Man that old school stuff is pretty awesome hahaha. So simple it's barbaric. You must log in or sign up to reply here.
