Its day 4 for my GBTA and he is still hiding under a rock ledge that he walked to the first night. He seems to try to stretch out to the light towards the back of the tank (of course) but i think he has forgotten that he needs the lights. I know they need time to settle in and i read someones post with the girls web site for BTA's but i am beginning to think i should move him. I am just looking for a little first hand experience with this so i do not hurt the litle guy.

He just scrunched up and excreted so i guess he is still acting normal even though he is hiding

Well I checked my ph and alk they were very low so guess that is why he was not happy i did a WC and bufferand he is wider already I hope he will walk to the front........

Question... Can i lure him to the front by keeping my light towards the front of the tank?

I would say it's worth a shot as long as it won't adversely affect anyone else in your tank.
