Default Just Wondering: frogspawn
I have a octupos frogspawn about the size of a medicine ball. Don't know how many heads, guessing 80-100

Anyways, it is too large, and I don't want to destroy it by fragging. Would anyone with a large talk be interested I it, promising not to destroy it by fragging? This is a showpiece!!!

Pm me and we can talk

Rick

I would be surprized if it doesn't break apart under it's own weight pulling it out of the tank. I got a basket ball size colony last spring that started breaking apart before it even reached the water's surface. That said you can rebuild it into a giant colony again in it's new home.

Mine did that, rebuilding was not an easy task. And it didn't work out quite as well as I had hoped -lol

Idea for removal: find a clean small bucket/tupperware thing and move it into that while it is still submerged in the tank, then remove it. That way it will always be supported by water.
