Maybe I can rent some space out in his tank for my non cooperative bounces.

I heard he uses a helium reactor to blow up the bubbles like balloons.

Little history lesson.
Three OG momma Bubbalicious Bounces. The story is that the original Bubbs came in from Terri Landt. Later splits were renamed as Frankenstein. All three of my mommas are technically from the same lineage/ genetics and yet all 3 look so different. Two of them even came from the same previous owner.

Another bit of history.

This bounce was picked up at a wholesale near LAX about 6 yrs ago and was originally named Moon of Neptune. Eventually the “Moon of” part was dropped and became know as simply the Neptune bounce.

Rocks! You're only utilizing two dimensions and losing space in your tank. Introduce rocks, get more growth area, and allow more surface area for nitrifying bacteria to grow.

I have tons of bioballs in my sump to get away with so Little Rock. I almost wanted to stick all the rock in the sump as well. Loose shrooms run away and hide under rock and become PIA. If I lose space I will just go vertical. Plus, where would I put all my cups and Tupperware?

I didn’t pick it up at a wholesaler. I bought it from the guy who picked it up 6 yrs ago. This shroom has since been aquacultured and are commonly found. This is just a big momma. Typically these bounces stay 1-1.5in in size.
