The only pic I could get of my Betta so far is in the bag as he has been hiding since I let him out. Once he comes out, I will get better pics. The other is of my BTA ..
RBTA's are reef safe to an extent. I have had several; however, they do grow, split, and move if they are really happy. When that happens, they end up crowding the tank and then they become a problem. I had them with my xenias on one end of the tank for a long time until I needed the space. You can create a 'sand valley' between the two sides of the tank and then they will stay on the one side. Create caves or arches for them to hide in and they are more likely to stay. This is how I kept them contained in my 125. In the 90 when I had a couple, they kept wandering. When they move, they can sting other corals. When you first put them into the tank, they can move a lot.....and sting corals. One other thing, if they are having problems, they can put toxins into the tank. I figured this out when all my xenia began melting. I fixed the RBTA's problem, did a major water change and a major carbon filtration. Things were fine.
Again, a wonderful addition to a reef tank if you set it up right and know what they are capable of. Best of luck and I am sure you will enjoy it:snshne:
I don't know much about Betas, but every time I go to the wholesaler, I drool and when Jack gets them in at the shop I am worse. I just don't know enough yet about them.....but I will:smirk:
