[Vince272992]

Hi I've had a GBTA in my tank for about 2-3 weeks now and first ill tell wht bad things are happening to it then good... So first bad he has still not taken one peice of food from me and is not sticky,and some times he deflates completely, sometimes when the lights are on and sometimes when they are off and when he shrinks or deflates his mouth is open, and now the good, first i just added a clown fish Tht only hosts him during the night, also the anemone is inflated for most of the day, and last he was bulbed up real mostly and has lots of color but sometimes he will be not bulbed up and just be in regular mode haha. So do u think he is healthy or wht???

Srry I don't have any pics cause my phtobuget account is acting weird haha
THANKS

Your description sounds pretty normal for a newly added bta. Try not to mess with it and keep your water parameters stable. If you want more help you will need to post a photo or list your water parameters and tank specs. Good luck!

How is the coloring? A pic would definitely help. What are you trying to feed? Any information on your tank would be helpful (age, size, parameters, lights, flow, etc). When it is inflated, is the mouth closed?

i too, would like to know about the mouth. if it's wide open and gaping, then there's an issue.
