That is awesome

I was so excited. For once, I looked in the tank and something positive was staring back at me. I’ve had a lot of tank drama

Happy New Year - better buy lottery tickets - it's an omen. You DO know when nems split on R2R you are required to hand out cigars to EVERYONE who reads your post.

Well, the original BTA is splitting again. Is this normal?

Been feeding him? Tank parameters changed? Mine split 3 weeks ago, (California Rainbow BTA).

That's why, you really don't need to feed them so much. Maybe a piece of krill once a month. If you feed too much it could rot inside of them.

Was following LFS instructions. He had grown a good bit, and would occasionally catch a piece of food when I fed the fish. I should have taken that into consideration. Hopefully, I haven’t caused any permanent damage. Makes me nuts when my tank suffers because I haven’t done enough of my own research.

Thank you for the info! Luckily all 3 are okay

Mine split into 3 overnight a couple months ago. Saw it split into 2, woke up and it had split a third. All 3 are still very healthy
