Thx! They sell for around 99.00 here locally. I have 12 right now. I don't give them anything other than the fish food they capture. Just wish they were easier to remove. Im always afraid im gonna hurt em!!!

7 years. I was set up to fail by a local guy. Didnt educate me or anything. Ive had to learn the hard way. I have a happy environment now so i cant complain.

My husband knows how to feed the fish but thats about it lol

If you are having a 'problem' with splitting... Share your lighting, flow, water parameter info!
Nice work!

That looks fantastic. My BTA has grown and colors look great but hasn't split yet after about 6 months.

Beautiful RBTA/s, I've not had much luck with them in the past. Every time I've tried they ended up sucked in a pump or something.
