RBTA Gone and done it!!! - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

**Ziggy953** · 01-24-2008, 05:56 AM

Update!!

I found the RBTA. It made a long walk around the island it was on and is coming back out of the rockwork. Amazingly its color is better then before. I'm not thrilled with where it is right now but I can deal with it. At least I know it is still there and from the look of it doing better!!! I'm going to leave it alone for the time being and see what it does. Eventually I would like it to be a center piece but that can wait for now. I'm just glad my $90 investment isn't lost! If it gets to a point where I can get a pic of it I will!

That's great news. Leaving it alone is teh best thing you can do now. Hopefully it will move again in a week or two and come out front. You can try placing them anywhere you want. They will usually end up moving just to spite you (or to find a more comforatable place).

Glad to hear the color is coming back.

I got a few pic of it since It is now visible. They aren't that great because of the angle I have to take them from, and they don't really show the color imporvement but anyway here they are.

Here ya go. You can't see the RBTA in the pic because of where it's located but this is the tank as of now.

Looking good. I hope it finds a happy home...and not too close to that birdsnest or monti.

wow your tank is amazing! I hope one day I will have one like yours...

If it decides to settle where it shouldn't you can point a ph towards it's foot. Not too much flow, but enough to make it move in a few hours.

Right now it seems to like the hole it has found. I'm not happy with it there but I'm going to leave it alone for a while.

Well as of today 1/28/08 the RBTA is progressing nicely. Still in the hole but that is ok for now. As long as it continues to improve I'm ok with the location. The color is starting to deepen so I'm guessing it is doing better then it was. I wish I could get some better pics I just can't with where it is located and the curve of my tank.

All is well...updates to follow...
