Bubble Tip Anemone tank

Tou · Oct 29, 2020

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me how many different types of BTA are in the market right now? I am trying to collect all of the same species for my BTA only tank.
The ones I know are as following.
Rainbow BTA and Rose BTA (are they the same?)
Green BTA
Black Widow BTA
Sunburst BTA

Thank You

There are so many BTAs I never even thought about that hmm. some other types are the speckled BTA, Flame tip BTA, Filipino snowflake BTA, and the inferno BTA.

I hear that some types of BTA should not be housed together. I don't know the specific ones though. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in

Anyone have expirence with multiple mix BTA in the same tank?

I would avoid mixing high end nems with regular rose and greens.

I've been looking into a bubbletip for my clown. There seems to be as many varieties of BTAs as there are clowns some days.

I am guessing the cheaper ones are rose and green. Everything else is very expansive right?

Depends on where you shop and what you define as "cheap"
One store near me sells 2" acid rain BTAs for $25.
Another store sells 2" rose for $80, green for $60 and "Ultra" whatever that means for $160.

Chemical warfare between them.

I had 8 large 10-14 RBTAs and 4 green and purple BTAs the same size for a long time . I added a Rainbow and they have grown multiplied while the old ones have both decreased in size and number. Clearly some sort of chemical dominance going on there.
Also I have found some things like streaks and speckles on BTAs will come and go depending on who knows what, just like bubbles do!
