should i be giving it any special care now? I did a PWC this morning before I noticed him moving today and all my levels seem great.

I notice one half looks really stringy and ugly

they tend to split during water changes and difference in temperature and being overfed in your case id say the waterchange triggered it, the little bta i have split the first night in my tank lol just leave it be theres not a whole lot you can do for it ,after a split though they tend to walk around to find a spot to settle so watch your powerheads or filters/overflow
