Traded in the BTA for....

Well, if a pair of clowns won't take to a BTA in 2 months, then they probably never will. So I traded in my BTA tonight and picked up a frogspawn, a grey/blue-colored devil's hand, and a trumpet coral. My wife also couldn't resist buying a small leopard wrasse too. She paid the bill tonight ;D.
The corals are all looking good, and the wrasse even ate a little food before I shut off the light.

So, this will be the end of my BTA with ADD stories.

 

That's too bad. I've heard it can take up to a year. Mine took about a month and then blam-o.

Patience is key.

 

It took well over a year for my False Percula to finally call his Pacific Long -Tentacle Anemone home! Sometimes it happens over night, sometimes longer and sometimes not at all. Anemones don't have to host a Clown or vice versa for their success either!
Nice pick up just the same on the return of your BTA!

 

Great wife, shes definitely a keeper!;D Does she have a sister? J/K My wife would kill me. I personaly would have given it more time, Mother nature gave all her creatures instincts. I dont believe in that tank raised or wild caught bologne. But on a positive note, great new additions. Good luck with them and one little thing..................DONT FORGET THE PICS!!!

 

Sweet!

Your wife has great taste, it's a beautiful wrasse and quite hard to come by most of the time (at least in my neck of the woods).

 

Mission666, that's exactly what our wrasse looks like (maybe not as much yellow on the fins yet), although it has not come out of hiding in the LR yet today, and I know it didnt' jump out of the tank.
Here's the eye candy for you, Luna.

 

Yup CR, well despite the non-hosting issue, I just didn't feel that it could be safe to put in any coral with the BTA wandering around all the time. Although I liked watching the BTA eat his freeze-dried krill, and it was cool to see him swim around, I guess in the end, we'd just rather start up some corals instead. And lemme know when you'll be doing some more xenia and capnella fragging. Thanks.

 

All I can say is Great addition buddy. Luna

 

Thanks guys. After the lights have been on for a few hours today, the frogspawn really opened up a lot more, and the leopard wrasse came out of hiding.
