GBTA Bubbles

[monte87ss]

I have a GBTA and it seems to be doing very good but the only think is that the tentacles don't fully bubble. Every day there are a few that are bubbled but never the whole thing like when i bought it. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to help keep then bubbled up. I read all over the internet that no one knows what makes them bubble up. I was just wondering if anyone has found anything that works for them.

Every nem is different but i have noticed that they "bubble" more when they are in a lower flow area

Well that maybe idk mine is definetly not in a low flow area but he does like where he is. He picked it out he tried every where in the tank and it is where he has settled.

I was talking with someone the other day about it. An observation we made is we have never seen a large BTA bubbled and almost all small ones are. What this means, I don't know but it was something we had both noticed

I have a picture that proves that the above is not always correct - very large RBTA, 12" in diameter, completely bubbled up.

well mine is about 5 to 6 inches and it really never completely bubbles anymore. i just noticed the other day when i was in your shop your rbta's were all nicely bubbled and then i got home and looked at my gbta and started to thinking about why it wasn't and was just wondering if anyone had any tips.

Yeah, it was just an observation. I have made. My GBTA is around 12-14" and hasn't bubbled since it was small. Its never split either. I wish it would because its size is frankly becoming annoying. I've seen pics of large ones bubbled but I'm trying to remember one in person and can't think of one.

On the BB or the pic would be up already...

I have heard that very strong lighting makes them bubble more, like at least 6watts/gallon or more

My Rose has grown from about 4" to about 14" in the year + that I've had it. I don't think it has ever had bubbled tentacles. I wish it would split too, for the same reasons John mentioned.
