So I was looking at my tank (and still am as I type) and noticed an RBTA sitting in it.... Very curious... I never wanted one in here... Chalices, acros, etc....small tiny fish.
It didn't appear by magic... I ran out of room in my bta tank and put two holding pens with btas in them into my main display. Each is open top but the walls are well above the waterline....maybe 1/5-1/4" above the water. The pens have holes...maybe 3/8" in diameter max. The waterline never goes above the walls of my holding pens. How on earth did the bta escape?!
Is there something Im missing here? Can they walk out of water? Squeeze through tiny holes like an octopus? What?! The bta is about 4" when open with a foot of 1.5-2"...
Any ideas? Now I just have to hope it finds a happy spot and doesn't sting anything = or hope it moves to a spot for extraction...
