culp686 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Was wondering how long it takes for a rose tip to heal after splitting? I bought one from woody and it is being pretty shy about totally opening. He said all the ones in the tank were from the same one. The color is great on it and I have been spot feeding it ever since I brought it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berger9953 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 usually just a day or two....I paniced when i saw some split and they looked dead, but the next day it looked completely normal;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moovinfast Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ours was open up the next day after it split. Might just need a day or two to get used to the new tank. If you feed it, it might also be "digesting". Ours looks deflated the next day for a bit after its been fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Do they look similiar to this one? I bought him from woody about 4 months ago when he had 100 of them in there. This one has split twice and always looks as if he is gonna split again. Never truely "bubbletipped" up. Clowns love them though, all three. They just go back and forth between them.

wanareef Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Those clowns really don't care which one they go to (whistle) Did you run some carbon in the tank after the split? And do a WC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culp686 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 No mine definately has the bubble tips. It just doesnt want to totally open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkalot82 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Mine only takes a day possible two to open after they split, I run a butt load of carbon in mine and poly pads and just about anything I can get in there even k. pure elite. And my water testing for just about everything is just a good as it can get. I'm just anal I guess. Bubble tips do like good water quality and lots of light and water flow. Mine always climbs to my outlet filter bars all of them. course my rose seems to split about every two months. My clown feeds him too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
