I just got a new BTA last night and set up (what I thought was) the perfect home for it.

Woke up this morning and it had moved to the back side of the tank facing away from the front.

The flow seemed better there.
I am thinking about re-positioning my powerheads to create a better flow in the front of the tank and making the place it moved to undesireable in hopes that it will move.
Would this be a bad idea???? :notsure:

For now just leave him alone. Its perfectly normal for a BTA to do exactly what it did, head straight for the back of the tank. I don't know why they do it but they do. In the next couple of weeks it may very well be on the move while it gets used to your tank lighting, and chemistry. Give it a couple of weeks.

Mine did the same as he was adjusting to my tank. He will come out, just give him a little time.
