rbtas/gbtas

[SNAKEMANVET]

I remember seeing a pic that had rbtas and gbtas together, just wondering who had them and did they co-exist without problems. THANKS

Yes, they are the same species, just different colors. They will co-exist with no problems at all.

True


I have one of each...one at one end of the tank, one at the other

[raleej337]

I have both RBTA & GBTA, sitting in my tank side by side so far no problem. if you can check out karensroseanemones.com, youll see she have red and green bta in one tank.

I have 4 gbtas now and have a rbta coming soon.Just making sure it would be ok to mix them,i know they are the same species,i rather be save than sorry.New tank will be a 120 gal species only with 4 false percs.These percs are all siblings, they have been together for 6 months and have shown no aggression toward each other yet. Thanks again for the info.

Those look great together.If you don't mind me asking what kind of lighting do you have. I will soon have my 120 setup and will have 2 400 watt mh's 15k. Hopeing that should be enough light for them to be anywhere in the tank.

currently:

3x 400 watt SE 20K XM bulbs and
2x 160 Watt VHO actinics
plus LED moonlights.

I previously had 3x150 watt HQI's and they grew like tribbles.

Yes, I was lucky to get it. It took awhile to find.
