Bubble tip concern

hrdneglcry · Apr 6, 2022

I got a RBTA a month ago. Immediately it was happy. It only moved an inch from where I put it and it stayed there. It opened up daily. It had nice bubble tips. I moved the rocks around and it got moved. It moved itself several times and was looking ok but not like it used to. So I moved the whole rock back to the spot it was doing well in. It hasn't moved itself but it doesn't look like it did when I had there before. I know they change while they adjust. I just don't want to lose it. Its my firsr Nem.

They’re sensitive to being moved around and they respond to water flow and lighting
Too much flow will cause them to move or deflate
Too much light will cause them to hide
In essence , it lost its happy spot and is responding in the fashion it is
Medium light and moderate water flow is ideal for them
Placement best at mid- tank or below
Assure salinity-ph-nitrate aren’t elevated
