Hi we have a new addition to our tank a green BTA. We aren't sure if it looks happy.
when we got it it was rather pale and fattened right up when we put it in the tank.
It has been 4 days and it looks like this in the morning. How many hours of daylight or actinic light does it need? put itself here when we first added it and hasn't moved. Is it normal for BTAs to get skinny tips? How do I know if it is unhappy or hungry?
This is a 20 gal long tank with one 96 watt true actinic and one 96 watt 10,000k daylight
Temp=77.2
SG= 1.024
PH= 8
Amonia=.1
NO3=7
N02=0
Alk=2.2
