I've heard this too, but I've been told that it's just one way to make them split, not the only way. I've also heard that feeding the crap out of them can induce a split. I guess because it gets so big it decides that it's time.

Mason, it sounds like heavy feeding followed by a large water change induces a bta to split. I also read where a guy was cutting them in half with a razor blade :eek:

Hi Brad. No indication at all. It happens unexpectedly everytime for me.

Well, hopefully I get to see it firsthand one of these days. For now, I'm just glad mine lived thru the stream "episode" :rolleyes:
