|  My BTA
Here he is. I acclimated him over 3 hours by adding a little tank water to the bag and floating it. I set him atop my LR and he nestled down right in a little crevice. Now his just swaying in the current. My clowns haven't noticed him yet, but the yellow tail keeps wagging his tail at him.

Looks like it is doing great so far.
It needs to get used to tank conditions before it lets any clowns near it.
Not to worry. No clown can resist a BTA for long!

definatly looks good, like I was told, it will freak you out with shrinking and expanding, from all I have read it is expelling the water and taking in the new water, I aclimated mine for about an hour and its doing great so far, my clowns took about 12 hours to be in it which is really quick but they will find it for sure

I wonder why? From my understanding the sting of a BTA is very mild and probably wouldn't even bother my fish. | |
