Color mixing montis!

[brizzo]

Christmas montis .. haha. I hope it turns out well and they don't kill each other. I also had a few more small pieces I mounted on a plug too.

Those frags were grown out from baby sized frags .. maybe 1/2" or so

just be careful it's all the same species.
Janet at OA was showing Al and I the new OA display where they had done this and several of them were attacking one another and she informed us that different species of monti will do that.

just tagging along, I always thought it was a great idea. Guess I know have to make sure that it is the same species if I try it.

Here's hoping! I let them grow and touch on the frag rack and all seems to be going well. But, as we all know nothing in this hobby is predictable!

It will be interesting to see the outcome

I tried long time ago and green beat orange. I'm still wondering about the RC TOTM where buddy did it. Looked to unnatural too checker boardish I like your mount hope it works please keep us posted. One thing I did notice was the mount on RC, he didn't have any touching they grew together, when I did mine I mounted them touching Hmmm??

I think you're right about mounting them separated. I believe on Emster's build thread they were mounted apart. I left small gaps between mine because I wanted them to grow in faster.

The nice thing about the travertine is that it's really nice and heavy. I cut out a bunch of discs for future frags..

The other thing I found, is that my red ones grow much faster than my green ones. Time shall tell what happens in the next couple months
