New RBT

Pro2704 · Apr 2, 2023

God morning y'all!
So I've been looking a at tank full of RBT's at my favorite fish store for quite a while. Well last night I walked in, saw one riding around on the back of a Mexican Turo snail and couldn't resist any longer. Took them home and after a nice long, slow drip, got them in the tank around 2a.m. Imagine my surprise when I checked this morning and found that:
A: the RTB left the snail apparently right after I placed them in the tank
B: it also split so now I have two for the price of one!

sorry for quality of the pic, no orange filter right now

Thanks, my plan is to just let them chill for a few weeks. Make sure they're where they want to be (well for the most part lol). My tank is about 15 years old but I let it slip for a while and just did an overhaul back in December.
