RBTA Question?

[pilot_bell777]

My RBTA closed up daily and looks real bad.....then opens up in full bloom, glory, what every you want to say. Is this normal? Does anyone else's do this? Should I start getting worried about it?

they can do it up to twice a day I believe... check out the settling in thread, there is a link in there that talks about this.

[pilot_bell777]

Ya, I read that but I thought it said every couple of days and mine was doing it every day.

How often are you feeding it? Even if you aren't feeding it daily, its probably picking up little pieces of food when you feed your fish.

I am ffeding it about every two to three days. I have a LARGE yellowstripe marron clown that I think is really helping out with feeding it. I guess if you have to go you have to go! It just looks so bad when it does that, scares me!

[Ram_Puppy]

me too... I watch it like a hawk every time it happens :(
