Anemone splitting

[Blndbunny]

When an anemone splits is it always because its stressed? I purchased a green bta back in April as of today it has become 8. It appears to be very happy and healthy, eats very well and even maintains it bubbles. It seem to usually split when I have replaced a light bulb, but the newest split I really have no clue on.

Some tend to split more often than others. I don't think stress is really the issue, more likely overfeeding or underfeeding. Or its just being a nem, they really do have a mind of their own sometimes.

My RBTA just reached about 14 inches in diameter before splitting a few days ago. It was moving which I thought might be related to underfeeding since everything else is good so I fed it more and it split within a couple weeks. Just a nem being a nem.

Mine just get a little left over mysis if the clown doesn't devour it all and target fed about once a month. It tends to lose its bubbles if its hungry. I guess I will just sum it up as a nem being a nem. Or as my husband calls it, my curse for saying I wanted an anemone farm

Mine tends to split after a large feeding..... I stopped doing that, I don't want anymore nem babies!

Interesting, I may need to cut back on feeding every 3rd day. I really don't want mine to split any time soon.

My friends one splits every few months. Just because.

 

[Blndbunny]

I'm guessing mine will be one of those.

My RBTA is a splitting machine. All water parameters are good and just as important steady and it splits all the time. I just found 2 new "Babies" last night. I started with 1 and now have at least 9 RBTA in my RSM130D. It may be time to start relocating some LOL

It may be time to start relocating some LOL

If you do, I'll pay shipping.

Really sounds like what mine is doing is pretty normal, now to find people who want to home these little guys.

Thank you so much everyone!

Is the original the only one splitting or are all the nems splitting that fast? If you don't want that,many sell or trade them in and help with some of your tank expenses even though it won't be much it helps a lot. My problem is my pink bta only grows 3 or 4 inches before it splits again so I never have any large nice ones

U will be fine. As long as it eats. Your golden.

Its not illegal in the rest of the states. Well not all of them anyway. There lots of states that also do not reference motorcycle lane splitting/filtering in their traffic code or statutes. Texas is one of them.

would love to see shots of your anemone and tank - I used to have a tank just with rbta's and would sell the offspring to pay for small stuff.
