Whats the best way to cut a softy?

[FragIt Dan]

I fragged my Colt (and finger leather) using replacement blades for my utility knife... I just slice it down the middle somewhere leaving some foot on both pieces. I frag softies in an external container of tank water as some can release toxins into the tank when fragged. My Kenya's are constantly dropping pieces off so I have never needed to frag them.

Just to clarify, it's not Kenya.

I have had it over a year.... Not a single dropped branch, hence the need to cut it.

The toxin release is what I'm concerned about.

I had huge toadstools that I just cut directly in the tank water. I cut it while I was doing a water change and changing carbon. Never had an issue.

Good plan!

I'm due for a water change this weekend.

Thanks.
