I thought they have to split on their own! I’m way to scared to start cutting lolTime to get out the scalpel and chop it! Right through the middle has worked best for me
I’m sure they would too but I got this guy for $60 which is super cheap and I know they’d still give me less than that lol but I love this one it’s just too big for that spot so trying to get it to split to move the other half to the other side lol or put it in my new tankI’m sure your lfs would trade it for a smaller one.
Also, the black widow BTA will have evenly red-spotted tentacles, and a dark oral disc with a white "web". Here is a picture that shows an exceptional example of both:Also I know I’ve asked before but is this a rose or black widow??
They do split on their own mostly when unhappy with flow.water or lighting as you have yours in a pot why move or split seems quite happy, you could move the pot out to the center of the tank and see what happensI thought they have to split on their own! I’m way to scared to start cutting lol
I’ll definitely try that!So this is the slow/safe way I do splits. Skip a couple water changes and then do a GIANT water change, at least 50% of the water in the tank. Usually either the high phosphates/nitrates will trigger it, or the sudden drop will. Works pretty well but not 100%.
Dang was really hoping I got a huge black widow for $60 hahaAlso, the black widow BTA will have evenly red-spotted tentacles, and a dark oral disc with a white "web". Here is a picture that shows an exceptional example of both:
This worked for me, I’d get splits about once a month consistentlyFeed it daily. It will eventually want/need to split
What do you feed them to make them split so fast?This worked for me, I’d get splits about once a month consistently
Fed mine scallops and they split like weeds.What do you feed them to make them split so fast?
Fish food or LPS coral pellets. Anything edible will work lol just make sure it’s not too big (they can choke) but I don’t think you’re gonna have that problemWhat do you feed them to make them split so fast?
I've heard feeding them helps them split. But I don't have personal experience with BTA's. A friend's has split like 10 times and he feeds them a piece of shrimp once a week.I thought they have to split on their own! I’m way to scared to start cutting lol
