RBTA positioning??

Hi all, I have an RBTA , in my tank for about a month now. I think is in a happy spot, but it at back and bottom of my rock, left side of my tank. Is there a way for me to have it move somewhere else? Anyone have any trick that they used to lured it to a position they want it to? Thank

 

You can try aiming a power head in that direction to get it to move, but they will always go where they want regardless of where you would like them to go.

 

+1 to powerhead

The downside is, it will wander and may settle, or it might keep on moving, or it might end up back where it is. I dont have a RBTA personally but I have a couple mini maxi's and they tend to wander up and down front and back to mainly one column in my tank, but that is over a course of months.

 

The sound of power head scare me hehe. When I 1st put it in my tank, that where it end up lol, but luckily only 10% of it foot were damage. Anyone else have other trick they have try? Thank for the reply.

 

I will try used my maxinet blow at it, see if it moved, will it move in few minutes? Because I want keep my eye on it of it move. Seem like rbta, don't like a lot of flow.

 

lol, no it wont pick up & start walking. If you want to see the show you'll fall alseep or die of boredom first.

Just hand the power heaad where it directs more current in its direction, preferably pushing with the flow in the direction you want it to go.

 

If I want the Rbta move to front of tank, I should put the powerhead on back of tank and have it push water to the front? Just want make sure.

 

Yes, you want to powerhead blowing in the direction youd like the nem to go
