So if a rbta dies in your tank, does it really nuke/poison/kill the tank? What causes this, are they like full of toxins?
I’m asking because I have like 7 of them and my rock is all huge pieces so not easy to just take one or 2 out to sell. i have tried in the past to get them out with all the usual methods but their feet are wayyy down in rock crevices and aside from ticking them off I’ve had no luck. Once years ago I even drained the water down well below their level and left it like that for hours, hoping they would move, or I could get them to release, no luck.
So I won’t mind trying again but I do worry about “Nuking the tank” by accidentally killing one of them, since I know this won’t be a gentle process. Thoughts?
