Gbta Vs Koralia

[ihavtats29]

well i picked up a small gbta yesterday for my wife and her 2 tomato clowns, all was fine and it was looking great untill 6:30 this morning i found it stuck on the intake of the koralia 1. I shut down the pump and slowly was able to remove all but a small part of its foot from the pump. so i left the pump off and set it near a rock. at work i got a call that the gbta was looking good and the clowns were starting to take some interest in it but it was still on the pump . when i got home it had pulled its foot out from the slots of the intake and i was able to gently coax it off the pump. i guess im lucky this time . i covered the 2 koralias in nylon's to keep it out untill it decides where it wants to be.

Was the foot torn,if not it should be ok.They like wonder around until they find a place it likes.

no the foot is in great shape ! no tears or noticable cuts, i just checked on it agian and it is filling out nicely. and i also think it will be fine. im going to try to fed it a small piece of silver side tonight and see if it will take it.

I now have 8 gbtas and soon a rbta.The gbtas were bad bleached but now are recovering.Good luck with your gbta.

thanks , and i just fed it a half a silver side and it consumed it in about 2 minutes time, definatly a good sign. also all its tenticals are full and bubbly, even the damaged ones are starting to fill out.
