    Hello,


    I once had a lovely big Kenya tree... during my move from Maryland to Ankeny the tree took a lot of damage and the main part of it died.. however.. there were some branches of it that fell off and have now attached themselves to the glass of the tank. I would love to save them and move them to my 75 Gallon tank however.. i have no experience with fragging or how to even begin to get them off the glass and attached to a plug or rock.. i also never bought fragging supplies.. I am looking for an experienced person who would be willing to come help me with this.. i would be willing to pay for supplies and such but am really looking for a way to save whats left since i am going to be emptying the biocube.


    Thanks,

    Derek

    Kenya tree is pretty hardy to say the least. A sharp razor should take it right off the glass, and then just shove it in a rock.

    Kenya trees are nearly impossible to kill. Believe me, I've tried.

    I agree you can scrape off with a metal scraper and attach to a rock. I've used a rubber band to attach soft coral like that to rocks.
