Patience
I've never looked into pricing these cuz I've never had room for any. I've seen them in other tanks they're beautiful. :star-struck:
Do they split and make babies?
Honestly know nothing about them.
Yes they can split and have babies.
If anyone know more about them let me know.

I wonder if there is a way to make them split whenever you want. Let’s say one of them is getting super big. It you want it to split into 4 how could you do it?

My plan is to grow them out like crazy and have them split a lot and sell them locally. Might be a dumb idea but I will give it a try

How big do they get, do they take over a tank, best tank parameters etc, probably all good questions. :):)

Here’s what I know but @kevgib67 can answer these better.
They grow moderately fast and can reach sizes of one foot in diameter, although growing to this size is somewhat rare. They can split a lot and take over tanks if you don’t keep them under control.

I don’t know the exact parameters they like but in my tank I cannot worried!

1 medium nem 2-3 inches
2 small nems 1-2 inches - 1 of these is for free.

Aren’t rainbow bubble tip nems super expensive?
Nope. I usually sell mine for $20-25

No. They often split when they are unhappy. They can split when happy too, but when they split frequently, that usually indicates they are in survival mode...

Yeah that’s what I thought. But how can you get them to split whenever you want?

How long has the tank been running? How stable are your parameters?

You can try to kill them... Seriously, they will split when they want. I would not expect to make a lot. If they are happy and healthy (which is what you want, right?), they will find a place in the tank and hang out for a while.

Oh ok. Of course I want the best for them lol. I don’t think I can try and hurt them something I won’t do.

I have other nems in the tank that have grown a lot but haven’t split. I have been waiting for that day,

Size does not really predict when they will split. I had 2 - one very large and one small to medium and the large one never split, but the smaller one did.

Sorry Charlie, other than rfas I have never had a nem. I’ve never looked into them. Was always worried about the moving and stinging or they would move to the back side of my rock and host my clowns and I would never see my clowns. They are beautiful though. Once again I’m offering a big goose egg!

Mine when she was a baby. Ended up with 6. Never had a split until my clown decided she loved it. I have none now. I gave them all to my lfs when they were going to cut hours in hard times last year. It was the right thing. I knew I would be taking my tank down and it would be best for the animals anyway.

I have an LTA. What is their deal?
How do they propagate?
