Green BTA

[nova65chic]

I have a a green bta that seems to deflate and inflate on a regular basis. (about every other day) is this normal? I have two clowns that host in it also, could this be a factor? If there is something wrong, how do I fix it? Thanks! - Amanda

**** yours is huge amberjack! i prolly would have *tried* to move it, but it has settled itself in a hole in the rock, even the guy at the lfs couldnt get it loose and had to break the rock to sell the whole thing to me heh

I'm glad you asked that question, I always thought it meant it was hungry so I would feed it...then it would get big again.....

lol good one

how do you get the clowns to feed it? i feed mine a mix of dried food and frozen brine shrimp, and i dont see them feed the bta, just get fat lol

Yours is a LTA(Long tentacle anenome) is it not? Either way very nice!

has your split? i would think after a certain point of growing it would split...but i am still new at this heh

My gbta when I first bought it from Blue Planet looked like this in June 07 and the next couple pics are in Jan 08. I doesn't do bubble tips anymore, just gets bigger.
