ive had my beautiful flame BTA from kevin tran , he said that he never spot fed them just lights and where it will catch in the water , it's been in my tank for a think a month maybe a little longer now and I've never spot fed it myself, it seems happy and healthy and massive! Should I maybe start feeding it or let it do its own thing from now on? As you can see half is bta half isn't lol im sure that's not a sign or poor nutrition?

From my understanding from reading other forums it's assumed that the lighting is what encourages them to bubble up. Not 100% sure if that's correct but it's just what I've read. I have noticed that the ones in the LFS that are bubbled up are always under nice LEDs. I have crappy CFL bulbs on my tank (soon to be LEDs) and mine don't bubble up either. Although when I first caught one that split and placed it in a basket near the top it did start to bubble up a tiny bit.
So if it is the lighting that encourages them to bubble up perhaps the person you got it from had more/different lighting. I guess I'll find out if that's true when I get my new LEDs.
