Question

BTA decided to relocate to my sump lol.


The BTA squeezed into the sump on my aquapod. It has attached itself to the foam block and is just chillin. I have tried to move him several times but he is attached pretty good so I decided I would leave it alone.

Any idea on how to get the guy out and back into the tank and what I can do to prevent this from happening again? It is really no big deal cause he is doing fine. I have not fed him cause I was hoping he would move along but that has not worked either. I have tried no lights and no flow but it does not seem to care and is pretty intent on staying put it seems.

Thanks, Brad

You could try an ice cube to it foot base.

I might give that a shot but I am kind of concerned it might damage it but once again I don't really know.

I thought about hooking up a car battery to some jumper cables and moving that way lol.

Why not just move the foam block into the display? He should move off of it before long, then you can put the foam back.
