You also can look at it this way... 6 months you will have two, 1 year you will have 4-8.
Just watched a RB video with Remy. He did a profile on a guys system and he had a tank with over 200! He also sells 4-5 a week!

Unless he/she has my luck which is the really nice nems don't split only the common cheap ones do for me

I had 3 rose bubble tip that eventually reached 50 and one really nice red bubble that I've had for 2 years and still only have one.
For me in think it's tank stability and maturity. A few years ago my nems were splitting like mad but I haven't had a split in well over a year but tank has been super stable and is going on 8 years old

If you want RBTA to split fast, go to the grocery store buy a few raw jumbo shrimp, cut them up into 1/2" pieces, and feed the nem every 3 days. It will split so much that you won't know what to do with all of them.

Ya but then you end up with a bunch of nems that are small and moving all over. Feed them light and they grow large and stay put. I may start feeding this red one though. I wouldn't mind a few more of them.

i feed them a few mysis every other day, you think that’s enough?

Good light and some mysis is just fine! Love the pics of your widow!

I don’t feed mine and they grow and multiply way too fast for my liking. But if you want to supercharge their growth and multiplication, feeding them something more substantial than just mysis is a must.

Got it in my nano after acclimating, hopefully bubbles up soon. The store still has another available if anyone wants to snag it. Thanks for the help guys

That is gorgeous! I’m green with envy…
