whats wrong with my gbta

Looks a ton better... I think it'll be fine, personally.

 

[ivegotcrabs]

not bad for 7 dollars right

 

[ivegotcrabs]

i think it "changing its water"like you guys said
that store does not keep up its tanks

"Lookin' Good!"

Chico and The Man" reference........... Guess I'm officially old now....

 

[smoothie]

It still has color to it so I think you are fine. Money very well spent

 

[ivegotcrabs]

its all the way open and bubbled up
i think its going to make it
the mouth is closed as well

 

[ivegotcrabs]

it just shrank againand now has spagetti looking string coming out of its mouth

 

[CoralShop]

mine is doing the same thing crabs i've had it for 3 weeks and it does this everynight and sometimes during the day... Really sucks watching and feeling helpless

 

[ivegotcrabs]

it has closed all the way up now
one question for you guys
what does the "spaghetti string " stuff mean
is it pooping or dieing

 

[jamescook]

I've heard that's intestines. but I've also heard there are no internal organs? Try not to freak and just keep the water and light etc as stable as possible

 

[ivegotcrabs]

if it dies
i hope it doesnt
how will i know for sure/when do i pull it out

 

[superclown]

Once it starts to die you will know it... sometimes they detach from the rock and other times they stay where there at but when they start to go the water will start to foul up and they will have a melted slime lookto them and its not a good idea to expose to air to check but every bra i've had that died had an aweful dead smell to it afterwards.. only thing you can do is give it time keep a close eye on it and if it goes from bad to worse time to chunk it unless you wanna have some pretty fouled up water

 

[jamescook]

you'll know. It will look even worse and kinda melt away. I bet it's just stressed from the move and poor conditions. lighting changes alone are enough to freak out a nem.
tomorrow when it's better give it a light dusting of bs or mysis

 

[ivegotcrabs]

i feed it a tiny bit of rods when it first opened sat night
and one small piece of krill last night

 

[superclown]

If its taking food and keeping it down that's a positive sign... i had a bta that would take food for about 2 weeks then it got to where what i fed the previous night would be back floating at the top of tank next morning. And then it got to where it wouldn't even take food at all... then a week later it was slimed up
