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

So with it splitting was due to it being stressed just maintain solid water quality keep a close eye it will take about 2 weeks to heal do not feed the bta congrats on having 2 how old is your tank?

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.
 
Good choice love my BTA s They move around a bit at first until they find there happy place flow and lighting. Good luck keep us updated please .
