Good / Bad news...

I’ll be starting a 120g haram tank. The 1st lair ken a sebea. I can’t say I own it. I might possess it but they own it... They’ve been breeding the last 3 months and have yet to raise a clutch so figure I’ll start a tank to see there pattern.


I tried to find a clear glass and pic of it. I can’t find my FB picture.

I would like to know how your BTA split at the rate of you can’t keep up who’s splitting and who the mother was. I’ve had a BTA tank to facilitate that and know the ins and outs of keeping them happy with bubble vs noodle tents.
“Happy or angry” is what I’m told always and there happy and will allow a parameter dip so they will be ticked on purpose for x amount of days.
Mainly I’ve had them for over a year on some and no splits or massive growth to allow multi host and not be rubbed to death with just one female but was used to the sebea’s massive size I guess. Spoiled her, so bought 2 more like you said to prevent disintegration.
Thank you for your info and did you raise them from a clutch or buy the haram?
*sorry about this glass as well. I HATE acrylic but it’s perfect for BTA’s movement.. I have MTS and need to clean. Water perfect but not my glass or work area. Embarrassed
EDIT* 4 tanks and a breeding tank... issues..
