Dwarf lily

Looks like there's a bit on the left I can remove and plant. Not really sure how to go about it, though. Has anyone here done this successfully?

If you look at the base of the Lily there should be irregular segments of the bulb and that side piece can be wiggled off. Often the pieces in between rott away.

Thank you My mystery snail took care of it. He runs it over wherever I put it. I found a rooted stem with three leaves floating at the top yesterday. It's now planted and seems to be doing well in Mister's 5g. Who knew snails were such good horticulturists?

I put a bamboo skewer with zucchini on in the tank for him. He's a happy snail. Everyone else moves in when he's off it. hehehehe So funny to think a snail is the boss of the tank.

That is funny. My EBA sucked my snails right out of their shells in front of my eyes. Won't make that mistake again....
