Out with the old, in with the new!

Well I got bored today and decided to take my torch and hammer to the LFS store. They hooked me up with some phat store credit and I went ahead and got a BTA. I will post a picture when the water clears up cause I moved some rock again as well.

My clarkii's are freaking out again but they are very interested in the BTA. Hopefully they will take to it. They won't leave it alone so far. They just have not taken the final plunge lol.

On another note my Kenya tree does not seem to like it much. I know it is only a 12g tank and was wondering if I should get rid of the kenya tree. It closed up about 5 minutes after I put the BTA in the tank so I was thinking that the chemical war started. It has started to open up and is on the opposite side of the tank. Just give it time and watch it?

thanks, Brad

12g sounds small for a BTA to me /shrug

yep, a little small. I would have waited till you got the other tank completed. I would monitor the situation and run some carbon.

He should be in the tank for no longer then a month so I think he will be ok. I will go pick up some carbon and see if that will make a difference. All the mushrooms and ricordia are doing fine and don't seem to mind at all.

Love to see pics!

Sorry the picture is not the best. I will get a better one in the morning with the lights on. I took a couple of pictures but I think the flash kind of freaked it out a bit. This was the best I could get with no flash.

The clarkii has taken to it and is all up in that thing. It will swim around in it and it looks like it will push on it to get it opened up more and then will wiggle some more in it. The clarkii has become super territorial as well. It will investigate anything in the area including snails, crabs and the other clarkii as well.

I will make a little movie tomorrow if they will cooperate cause to me the behavior is amazing.

Ok I added the carbon this morning and the Kenya Tree got a little better but it is still looking like it has seen better days.
