Nice scape!

Thank you, probably hard to see on that pic. Busted down a bunch of marco rocks then put em all back together with my boy and that's how it came out.

One thing I wish my iPhone had. A pro mode. Sigh.

Oh lordy, my BTA just went into hiding. Hope it doesn't mean it wants to split. He's been happy perched on a rock for months and not moved!

Here's the pro mode on android for those wondering. You can play with the settings in the last pic and whatblight ypu shoot under determines the best "k". My tank is heavy blue so I shoot in 10000k. Shilutter speed around 125 and ISO around 200. You can click focus and manually focus instead of auto focus and it helps..when all the green dots show up its the best focus you can get...its hard tonsee them sometimes though.

Mine's different. It doesn't have Pro mode, just manual mode.

Why dont you want it to split? In 3 months my rbta has turned into 4 and 2 are the same size as the original one. Im hoping the colorado sunburst will do the same thing!

Well BTAs do oddball things. The one I bought about a month ago. Disappeared for about 10 days after its first day in the tank. Found it again in the back right corner atop the rocks , just visible. And I’d love for it to split . I had a rbta in my 30 and it split 2 weeks later. Was perfectly happy until my tank move.

Because it was only 3 inches, my 2 inch one split already so I got two tiny ones. I've had them since November. They were really small when I got them.

Always interesting the whole splitting versus growing thing. I've had one for a few months that's probably doubled in size but no splits

Maybe I'll get a black widow or Sherman, heard those are less likely to split like rainbows.

Mines just a rainbow! such interesting little creatures. Same with the whole inflated vs not inflated tips. Feel like the only way to see they are stressed is when they curl up and hide in a cave

He's still all bubbly, just on the underside of his rock. LOL

The guy I got them from got them originally from TSA, he had dozens, multiplied like rabbits. Maybe it's genetics?

My RBTAs are in a colander at the top of the tank so they get target fed every day. They are growing ***** fast for me. Except the colorado that escaped thru the 1/8” slots and is living on the underside of the colander. Actully getting a bit concerned cuz he seems to be shrinking.
