RBTA shrivel.....normal?

[mfp4073]

I thought I remembered seeing somewhere in a thread a discussion about BTAs shriveling up and look like its dying from time to time as just a normal way to expell stuff. I have three and it seems like every 2 days one is doing it. Of course I freak out, check water params do a water change, try feeding the others, loose some sleep. But then the next day its fine. Day after that, a different one will do it. Is this fairly normal?

If you are constantly feeding then yes, they will be expelling waste every other day. I recommend you only feed once a week or 2 if youd like to see them inflated more often.

HTH.

Ok, good then. I have been feeding them a little more often. Both because of their move and also as a gauge to their health. It takes some faith, but I guess I need some more!
