So I woke up this morning to see my RBTA splitting... It has been huge the last few days... Soi was wondering I feed it every 3 days so how long should I wait to feed it since the split???

Sorry I was waiting for all my lights to turn mon so I could try to get a good pick... It looks like it hasn't fully split yet so it is still close together and hard to get good pics of both sides but here's a few

Depends on water quality.. I had a lil nem farm that went from 5 nem to 14... When mine naturally split, it took like 10-12 days to fully heal...even then, I still waited the nem's mouth to center itself which could take another week... The nem will let you know if it wanted to eat, i.e. if the food sticks to its tentacles....

+1 on waiting a bit - you could drop some selcon into the water column if you want--but ain't necessary.
