how big do green BTA's get?

[seaduck]

I finally found a decent looking bta but its very small about 1/2 a tennis ball. How big do they get?

hmmm.... well mine got about 14-16 inches across before it split, someone elses on here was double that. some split more often so they never get as big.
heres a good pic of mine before and after a split

the clown isent bigger than 2 1/2 inches or so

and then there were three

Here are a couple pics of my green BTA the first was taken back in Aug. the others were taken a couple of days ago. As you can see they can Grow Quick.

Wow, that is a beautiful GBTA.

xraydoc, how often and what have you been feeding your BTA?

 

[Tazz11]

I'm guessing you are asking me that question, and the answer is I feed maybe once a week sometimes only once every two-weeks and it could be anythig from several Krill to and partially thawed block of Formula One to some mysis.

Mine is dinner plate size. I feed every couple days since I want mine to split and grow. Doubled in size in a few months.

Sjm817, All three pics are of the same Nem approx 4 mons appart .

Seaduck, I'm running 2 14k Mh lights tank is 90 Gal with a 20 gal sump.

Adtravels, after several trips arround the tank this Nem finally found his home on the overflow and is not bothered by the tentacles in the overflow at all.

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone, the clown and Nem have become two of my favorites in the tank. This Hobby is Awesome.

Thanks Again,

Tazz
