Purchased a GBTA yesterday. Acclimated for about 2 hours. Initally floated for few minutes so I gently guided him to the rocks. He moved a few times and pulled bach into the rocks a little , turned the light off and by morning he had moved again. He has been in the same place since. He opened up a good bit today, but never bubbled.
This afternoon his mouth opened about 1/4 inch for about an hour or 2 so I tried to feed it with a turkey baster. ( frozed brine shrimp) He really did't grab it and hold on, but seemed to close his mouth. A few hours later he started to close up on himjself and this brown stringy stuff came out. I read contradicting things. Brown= good = poop and also, brown= bad =getting rid of zooas (sp)
What is happening? Now he looks really bad. A couple of hours passed and now his mouth is wide open and gaping.
I know it may go through some stress, but this sound a little extreme. Anything can do?
Ammonia=0
nitrites=0
nitrates=10-20
ph=8.0
salinity=1.025
Any help is most appreciated!
