Colorado Sunburst

After picking this guy up I'm told it won't live long in my tank because of chemical warfare between it and other nems in my tank. What's your feedback or experience. I cannot find any info about it! 1st pic as soon as I put it in the tank. 2nd pic full tank. 3rd pic vendor WYSIWYG pic.

It's still a bubble tip, should be fine..

Allelopathy isn't a guarantee but it is a legitimate danger. Quality carbon, such as Rox, Purigen, and 03 all lower the threat of allelopathy.

ETA-- I've had plenty of non-clone BTAs fight it out chemically.

Better sell it to me!

Anecdotal evidence is all over the map. Some people seem to get multiple BTA clones to live together without allelopathic attacks, others see it commonly. Your tank isn't heavily stocked so your risk is probably less, although I'd still run some carbon/purigen mix.

I wasn't even aware this was an issue. I have about 8 different bulbs and 1 big magnifica in the same system with no issues.
