Its green bubble tip, but petco does not have the lighting to support it. So i placed it at the bottom of the tank and it started hiding on me. Maybe in a few days it will start moving to a better spot rather than the bottom of the tank.
Make sure you have foam covers over your powerheads. when it starts to roam there's no telling where it'll go. I had one that let go completely and blew across the tank in the current and got sucked tenticle first into the foam cover.
they will walk to a happy place. both light and flow wise. mine were happy in about 150 to 200 par. then I changed my lights and didnt get them set right. one of them went walking. GRRR..
So this morning is day 2 and he is still in the same spot. I saw it getting mad b/c the goby was spitting sand on him last night, while he was trying to build some hills in the tank. I can see some color coming back to him.
Anyone use a MP10+ powerhead with a BTA, if so what setting do you all use.
Changing the powerhead won't do any good. Like pickupman said about his lights...the bta will move to where it finds the best spot for itself. You make a change, he'll make a change. Just let it do it's thing. The one thing you don't want to do it force it to move...it'll just **** it off more. Mine moved up to the top of a rock stack about 4" from the surface right below a light and get almost direct flow from a return nozzle.
I have not messed with him since i placed him in the tank, So maybe he will either move to a better spot or come out more. Also whats the temp on your tanks. Mine stays around 80-81 but i have read ppl saying like 78 79. I feel like that is really cold?
So when is the bubble tip start to move around. Its still in its cave and just closed up right now. I thought they would get use to the tank and then start looking for god lighting and flow?? Ill post a picture in a few minutes.
