Caring for a recently split RBTA

[alliecat]

So yesterday my beautiful and quite large rbta split. Anyone have any tips for taking care of it after?

You don't have to do anything. Do not try to feed them until you see a fully formed mouth on them (about two weeks). After splitting neither one will have a mouth. Just keep your water quality up to par and that's it. Good luck!

Alright. I've got a lot of people on top of me to sell them a baby. How long should I wait and more importantly how much should I try to get for it? Baby is 3-4" I've got a list of friends I was thinking whoever is first $40

I'd wait until it has fully healed and thriving again; possible a month. Price is entirely up to you :)

I believe it may be a "rainbow" lol not sure what they go for

My RBTA split into 4. He was HUGE before the split. I lost 1 very small one right away. I would say just keep your water quality good and wait til they heal.

i didnt do anything when mine split. just kept the water quality good as usual and that seemed to be fine. theyre a pretty hardy nem from what i can tell

I think it still may be splitting
