Good price for a RBTA

60 bucks for this rainbow bta, should I get it?

Ive seen them go as low as 35-40. Ultimately, if you like it...its more than a fair deal.

It's one of these, or a few random softies and a clown

I personally regret getting a BTA. Always worrying about where it is gonna go. Every three weeks it pulls a crocodile dundee and goes walk-about. Knowing what I know now..i would take the softies and the clown.

Thanks, I should play it safe probably and wait a few months for my tank, its cycled but not super established

If it is a designer clown..might be worth it. But if garden vareity..id pass too.

I don’t think I’d pay more that $25. Also, as mentioned, they can be a PITA.

I think that's a nice RBT for $60. Most of the ones people sell in clubs/craigslist for 30-50$ are babies. If you like the coloration go for it

Not a bad price at all. Prices can really vary, a few years ago I saw them for $200 for that size.

I would not put one in my main tank. I keep my anemone in it's own tank. I now have 3 of them bigger than the image. They'd just kill stuff in my main tank.
