How long have you had your bta?

These are incredibly simple creatures. Some people seem to think they are difficult to care for. IME, this is the farthest thing from the truth. They can handle, and even thrive, in sub-optimal water conditions. I rarely, if ever, actively feed mine. They seem to get everything they need from light and broadcast feeding of the whole tank.

Completely agree... not exactly canaries in a mine are they?

I've had mine for about six years and it has split many times. They seem to split anywhere from 6 to 10 inches. It splits so often it's annoying- I've become very good at removing BTA's from rock.

Well, I've had my female RBTA since 1995. It's split more than 200 times in my tank (and many, many more times in others' tanks) and spawned twice. I have a male RBTA that I got from Sanjay a few years ago (maybe 2008). It's only split once, and both clones remain small (I believe there is some allelopathy occurring here from the female clones, even though they are ostensibly the same species). I only have about 20 clones in my tank currently, as I had a partial tank meltdown last fall where I lost about a dozen clones.

Oh yeah, and yes, I filled out Joyce's questionnaire as well.
