RBTA without light

[mengyang_neo]

Got a RBTA 2 days ago, I introduce it in a place with low light and flow, I read this will help the RBTA to settle better, before it will move to a place with higher lighting. But in less than a hour, it start moving itself to a place with totally no light and stay there for 2 days. THe question is will it come out or it will stay there for good? And do they need light? Welcome all input. Thanks. =)

RBTA usually needs light but don't need very strong light.. It will usually comes out after a while, it will start shifting to a spot where it's comfortable, both in terms of lighting and flow.

My experience is they like flow more than light, and definitely a crevice in the liferock where they can hide and anchor themselves.

Since it's moving, it should be a healthy specimen and should eventually find itself a spot it likes. They like to anchor themselves between rocks.

Hi guy thanks for the reply, yup it is anchoring itself in between the rock but the place is right at the back of my tank without any light but quite high flow. Hopefully it dun find there comfortable and come out soon.
