So I mentioned in another post that I was moving my tank, which I have done successfully. As you would expect I put all of the contents of the tank in big tubs. The move took some time and the water temp did go down a bit.

now that everything is in the tank and everything is up and running, my BTA’s are not happy… remaining relatively closed. They are in the same spot with the same flow. Water parameters are on point.

Im thinking maybe the temperature shocked them? Hopefully they will recover in a few days/weeks.

They should be fine. Nems are pretty good at self acclimating by slowing their water intake and inflation. I've seen my LFS drop freshly received BTAs into their display tanks, sometimes with as much as a 5 degree difference, and they all look good the next day.
