Sad day yesterday

akabryanhall · Mar 12, 2011

So my BTA has finally given up the ghost. I think I fed it a bad silverside about 3 weeks ago, and it hasn't fully opened sice then. I noticed when I got home that it was starting to disintegrate. I usually would have left it alone, but I couldn't risk it poisoning the tank, so into the freezer it went. Felt horrible about it:sure:

Was it the RBTA or the rainbow? Dude that sucks. Give me a couple months and you will have something special. I promise.

Yeah both my clowns switched between both nems, it was sad, as it got smaller and smaller the female would just hang in the mushrooms next to it

I don't know really, gotta blame it n something I guess, I was feeding it too big of pieces, maybe a rib bone punctured it, could be my peppermint shrimp, I really don't know, my other one is doing stupendously!

Haha, I would love to split it, I'm afraid to as it has found itself a sweet spot. If it goes much longer without splitting...

Thanks Lmecher! I couldn't imagine having an octopus for that reason, I would probably get too attached and they only live a short while!

Akabryannall - sorry to hear the news man. It's always tough losing something. How long did you have the BTA?
