spham24 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Woke up yesterday and the water was really cloudy. Thinking to myself where is that gbta? Sure enough I saw bits of him suctioned to the intake of the MJ at the very top of my tank. Everything else looked good. I did a 4 gallon water change yesterday and sucked up bits of it and all is still well in my 40. I guess they only release toxins when they die gradually? (I wanted to remove this gbta to sell for like $10 the night before...i guess it knew and committed suicide) Link to comment
Bishop Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I just had this happen to my RBTA. truly sad day. I pushed out some heavy water change and loads of carbon on mine. had me scared of a tank crash which would have been devastating. Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It happens. My GBTA got mad after I added my RBTA and released its foot from the rock straight into my seido powerhead. What a smell these things release when they are cut up! It made me gag a couple of times while I was cleaning the guts from the propeller. Link to comment
