peligro Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Is this normal, what can I do to ensure it lives, and the splitting looks really bad for it. Any help would do. HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Flenderson Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Looks to me like it's splitting, Means it must be doing really well. I have had a couple split in the past and in my case the larger of the two stayed rooted in the rock while the other just floated around looking for a place to land. This could be bad if it lands in an impeller. Keep watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead77 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It looks great! You should do nothing to help it along or ensure it lives. Within a few days both of them will be healed up and normal. I've had this happen about 12 times so far and they've all managed just fine without any interference from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Looks like a split to me. Watch them carefully for the next couple days; one of them (if not both) will most likely move around the tank. Durring this search for a new spot many nems wander into a power head. If you notice one of them getting close I suggest you unplug the power head vs. trying to move the nem.

peligro Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ok so another ? I have a maroon clown and he's very aggressive like affection wise towards the nem. Is it safe to have the clown in there with the littler nem? HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Flenderson Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That's great! I love when a nem splits and the clown gets all confused and try's to host both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
