My Diver's Den GBTA (pics)

[RedSonja]

Okay, y'all have all shared your Diver's Den finds, I suppose I will as well.

Here is the picture from Diver's Den that hooked me:

And this is what it looked like minutes after acclimating it and removing it from the shipping bag, Jan 12 2007, 1:54pm:

2:54pm:

9:54pm just before lights-out:

It ate a couple of small pieces of scallop soaked in Selcon that night and has eaten everything offered to it since. Piggie 'nem!

Will add more pictures soon, as I dig them out.

Thanks, I also like it better than any other bta I've seen of any color morph. Had several other people say the same, who have seen many many bta's over the years.

Yeah LA is doing good business from us LOL.

How long before you start propping?

I love the color especially the tips. all these divers den nems are making my plain ol gbta look bad. my wife wouldnt let me get rid of our gbta becuase she gets attached lol so i could get a divers den and tell her that its the same nem that it just changed colors lol.

Four months acclimation time minimum. I'm definitely going to baby this beauty along and take no chances.

Good to hear! How's progress on separating all of your color morphs into different tanks?

Gorgeous! I LOVE that color, been looking for one like that myself but not found one so pretty. How many color variants of bta's have you found? I'd love to see them all, got a thread going with pics of them?

I picked up a bleached gbta this week that I'm hoping may color up like that in a few months. It's feeding well (small pieces of silversides), been in the tank 4 days now. Poor thing had been in a tank with N.O. lights and was practically crawling out of the water to get closer to the lighting. I placed it on an overhang at the end of the tank, it can reach up to the light if it wants or it can hide while it acclimates. It's not budged since I placed it there, so I guess it's happy enough.

Building stands now. I'm quite done bending over a stock tank sitting on the floor!

I have two rose and two green morphs now. I am lusting over the "flame" RBTA's that are showing up, but have no space or money for any more 'nems right now!

I posted a picture of some of my RBTA clones with green disks on another thread about cheap bta's, and the true rose clones in the feedback section after I bought them from Elmo18. I don't have good pix of my green and white bta's, they are psychic and deflate whenever I bring a camera near the stock tank! I guess if you check all my posts in the last month you could find them.

Your GBTA doesn't look too terribly bad there, with good care I bet it colors up nicely.

Just uploaded a pic in my gallery, if that helps. I plan to move pictures to my webhosting soon, but first I have to think up a name for the business so I can get a domain name. :/
