So is it splitting because you keep stressing it by moving it? if so is there any long term downside to causing splitting like this?

How fast do they grow on your tank? Special diet?

awesome!

wanna trade one of those little guys for a 1' x 1' BTA?!?!??! :lol:

but very cool pics indeed! :mrgreen:

Steve. This is the first time they've split after I moved it. The previous 3 splits were on their own. Not only are they splitting, they are growing. If they are stressed all the time, I'm not sure they would be growing.

ahh ok, I have heard from more than one person that the way to make them split is to stress them. so I thought this might be how you were doing it.

Steve

The previous tan and green BTA's that I had were also splitting 2-3 times a year and had similar growth rates.

maybe the secret is above average NO3?

that's so cool. what's the time period from the first photo to the last??

Thanks. First one was 4:51pm. Last one was 6:10pm.

Sam, is there an indication that this is going to happen? Or do you just stumble across the event?
