Congrats! My BTA originally split in 2 last winter...and when I did my morning tank check this past weekend I was pleasantly surprised to find a 3rd BTA.
I'm not sure what causes this to happen, exactly, but I like to think that if the critter wasn't happy it wouldn't go thru the trouble to asexually reproduce...
there's a joke in there somewhere, but i'll leave if for now...

thats cool! i checked on the today and 2 are in the rock and their tentacles are short and brown, need to get in light. the other is odd, it wont stay on a rock and keeps getting pushed around tank by water flow. something they do naturally? (maybe to spread around?) | |

2 of them are sticken with each other and wont leave each other alone. the third found a nice cave and only its tentacles are showin. each of the doubled in size in about a week. quite surprised that they split, which i assume means they're happy as pisces says, cause my tank is only three months old and and is being mantained by a noobie 14 year old.  | |
