Bubble tip splitting? Bad or good

[jordan10]

I have read alot about this. Is it good water chemistry or stress or water changes or over feeding. I don't know what it is. My thoughts on it is that it happy and splits but then I have a nice big green one I have had for almost 2 years and never splits but my red one splits about ever 6moths or so. I am sure there have been many of conversation on this topic.

Thanks for ur time

In my limited experience it can be a combination of things. Stress is the first that I've seen - temp swings, PH swings have caused mine to split. Secondly overfeeding. I feed mine littleneck clams and/or shrimp and if I get too generous I usually find a newly split nem. I started with 1, now have 7.
