How to kill mushrooms

[saleen385]

I have so many mushrooms growing in my tank, they are taking over. everything they touch they seem to kill a part of. Is there anyway of getting rid of them, fish that eats them or some chemical?

Thanks,
Jim

Can you just pull them out? They do grow like weeds.

 

[saleen385]

people tell me if you pull them out it actually makes them spread more

You may be right.

I would remove the large ones, frag them and sell them. Lol

As for the remaining bits, I bet a kalkwasser paste would do them in or maybe even a large helping of superglue

Id be willing to pay shipping costs if it gets to much. What colors are they? Any cool looking ones?

yup some are very invasive. Aptasia x works too. And craigslist

unfortunately just your standard run of the mill blue/purple shroom.
of course the metallic green and fuzzy green ones I have don't grow fast at all.

I have them and they grew very fast, but when I started to raise my alk to 8.0 they pretty much stopped growing.

Where in NC are you?? I would love some more mushrooms..

This may sound crazy but I remove mine by placing a rock over them and wait for them to attach themselves to the new rock and then remove and give to friends

 

[domination2580]

I wouldn't mind some blue mushrooms.

Those are the ones, mine are under 10k MH and look more blue.

Don't know never checked. I will have to see about getting a kit or taking a sample to the LFS

Thanks
