Helthy or sick BTA?

[rino0987]

I recently bought a BTA at a lfs and it opened up quite nicley. The day after i tried feeding it a chunk of shrimp, it took it and a few hours later i found the hunk layin on the sand bed coverd in snails. is this a bad sign because it settled in the crack i put it in and has not moved... and today i noticed the tenticals were not as bubbly as they were before... I run a 4 bulb t5 system on a typical 29 gallon aquarium depth of 18 in.

its a good sign it hasnt moved. lighting seems fine. you couldve stressed it when you gave it the shrimp. give it a few days and hee how it is. it will probably eat later on. my GBTA closed everday for the first 3 weeks in my BC
