Aquarium Advice Regular
So I bought a new BTA about a week ago. It was healthy happy and eating. I checked on the tank saturday for routine maintence and he was dead with no tentacles and his stomach was out.
I checked the water parameters and everything went to crap. It was almost overnight. The day before everything appeared OK. I did a 50% water change and put what was left of the BTA in quarantine. While doing the water change a what looked to be a dead emerald crab floated out from one of the LR caves!
I have a 10gallon setup with over 20LBS of LR, has been established for over 7 months now. The tank was fine and balanced so I thought I`d give the BTA a shot and now everything went to crap!
Should I just re-cycle the tank and go from there or continue to do 50% changes till the water levels again. I`m moving in a week and a half so I`m in between a rock and hard place!
