2 questions about my BTA

[jthomas0385]

I usually feed my BTA 3 whole pieces of krill every other day. Is this to much food? I have pretty decent lights. My tank is 55 gallons 48X18 and I have Current Nova Extreme pro 324 Watt T-5's.
Also why does my BTA look more like a green LTA?? I've had it for 3 months now and it looks great, eats great. Water parameters are perfect. Is that normal?
Thanks errbody

depends, pics would help, but typically bubbling or not bubbling is no indication of anything bad. Some BTA's do some dont, its speculated some do when bothered, or that deeper water species tend to have longer tenticles than some that reside closer to the waters surface. If it has good color, expanded 95% of the time and your water chemistry and lighting is sufficient I wouldnt worry.
