Pic of Blue/Purple mushroom splitting

[Anonymous]

I had a really hard time finding pics of this event on the net, so since I captured mine last night in the middle of a split I thought I'd share the pic.

This is the third time in 4 weeks that this mushroom will have split in my tank. When it splits, it really just moves to a new spot and leaves a small amount of tissue behind, which then becomes a new mushroom. You can see in the pic how the main part of the base is stretching away from the tissue it's leaving behind.

Thanks for sharing. Be careful about shrooms taking over your tank

They can split as much as they want, as far as I'm concerned. I'll just give them away or trade, etc.

Now if only my green stripe or red mushroom would split.
