Stopping an RBTA from splitting while it is trying?


Okay, so last night I did a water change, and was feeding my tank afterwards. I noticed that I now had 5 RBTAs, well almost, one looked like it was almost ready to be totally seperated during the split. Well I saw this after I fed all 4 originals. Well this morning, there is only 4 there, I think I've noticed this before, where I have stopped a split by feeding.... Does this sound right? I should have taken a pic, but there were definetly 5 there, and after feeding you could see the body, while squirting it with a baster, and almost done splitting..... Now just 4.

I would be happy to take one off your hands too... just let me know what you want for one. I think I may try and add a few different variations into my daughters tank... MAny have different highlights to their color that i find pretty interesting.
