Default Fragging

Anyone know about how many polyps should be in a colony before you frag it? & if it's ok to make frags of just 2 or 3 polyps?

There can be as many or as few polyps in a colony before you frag. I would suggest at least 5-10 though just incase your frags dont survive. And if you only want to cut 1-2 polyps that is fine.

You can frag each poylp . I would wait for 5 or more and after they settle in there new home a few months.

Things like mushrooms can be cut in 2 or 3 or 4 pieces . Just keep i piece of the mouth.

Youtube.com has a few fraggin videos.
