feeding BTA

[blueboy]

i have a large( about 8") green BTA that i've had for almost a year, but lately it doesn't show the bubble tips, it's always extended(accept at night). i had been feeding it chunks of squid, but recently switched to silversides thinking it wasn't getting enough to eat. it takes the silversides most of the time, but the bubble tips haven't returned. i've been offering silverside about twice per week. ant ideas?, it looks healthy otherwise, and my pair of percs love it, i just want to be sure it's completely happy.

Try some krill once to twice a week.

I would feed my long tenacle a whole shrimp from the grocery store. He seemed to love it.

you might also try fomula 1 frozen cubes..........mine love them and they are packed with good nutrients.

thanks guys, i think i'll give krill a try. the silversides seem like kind of a large meal.

I fed silversides to my LTA at one time. I would just cut it in half. I do think krill is closer to their natural diet in the wild though.

I have a question Where can I get Krill for my BTA? :unsure

Thanks

Almost any LFS that carries a good selection of frozen foods will have it. I also chop it up and add it to my fish food.

yeah, my bulbs are good, and i figured if it didn't like it's lighting, flow, or food supply it would move. it's been in the same spot since august.it's about 12" under a coralvue 250W DE 14K

Greasy? That grease is the HUFA that we pay a small fortune for as a fish food supplement in products like Zoecon and Selcon. Where do you think it comes from? :) Fish Oil.
