RBTA Problems

[gary faulkner]

My RBTA was in this tank for about a year. I moved tank and all, about 5 hours.

Tank set up now for 9 months. All inhabitants doing fine.

Two weeks ago I noticed my RBTA moved slightly into rock and now one side of bta is where it always was and the other side is sticking out other side of rock. I thought that it had split, but from where it is I can't tell. It will not eat and hasn't since it moved two weeks ago.

I have read that they try to hide when splitting and I can't see its mouth to tell if it has split or not.

How long do you think it will be before it eats again?

TIA

Gary, hard to tell, has it bleached?
If it has split it needs to rest and heal and form there mouths.
Keep an eye on it and they usually come out when they are healed.

No bleaching, everything looks fine. Just this odd behavior.

Its been in the same place for about twenty months and seems happy with the lighting and flow.

Thanks:mixed:

Its probably on its way to splitting. Wait a couple days. Time will tell.

Hey, thanks for the help.

The nem has definitly split. The one on the bottom of rock looks well and it at a small silverside yesterday.

The one on the top of rock doesn't look all that well. It is still all twisted up and refuses to eat.

Both have kept their bubble tips through all this.

What about the one that isn't eating, will it soon start,do you think?

Does this sound normal?

TIA
