So Chris, you just get it to remove itself(with some coaxing obviously) and put it on a food cutting board and slice with a surgical knife? Then pour some iodine on the wound and put it back in your tank? Do I have it right? These two, well one is huge,the other an offspring of her. Thanks for the thread, thought it was Dead.

That is one beautiful nem! I have never tried taking a razor blade to a BTA before but I have split maxi minis numerous times in the same manner. I always make sure to wear gloves and do a quick iodine dip after doing them. They are a bit tricky because they are so insanely sticky, it can be tricky to get them to let go of your fingers and lay flat on the cutting board. I've even gotten bold and cut a large one into fourths; all four pieces survived!

Thanks. It's probably not as bad as that first time anyone has drilled their tank. If that breaks, you're screwed, if the members dies, it's just tragic but life goes on.
