BTA Feeding Question

[crabbyreef]

I picked up my first BTA 2 days ago.(See the attached photo.) My tank is 11 months old. My question is that since it took up residence on the bottom of my 90 gallon tank, how can I physically get food down to it? Also, what should it be fed?

Nice BTA. You can use a turkey baster the squirt food to it. They will eat mysis, brine and pretty much anything chunky.
look luck

Nothing! They grow too quickly as is lol

If yours is hosting a clown, it will be feed. My clowns feed my rbta every time they eat.

You certainly don't have to feed him if your lighting is strong enough

I feed mine about every two weeks. He will get a small pc of shrimp that I will place as close to his mouth as I can get. I will use a pair of 12 inch tweezers for this. Feeding will help them grow faster, but it is not always required
