RFA vs BTA

[Cell]

If I can keep an RFA in my tank happy and healthy, would a BTA also likely flourish, assuming it has enough space? Are BTA's any more or less resilient than RFA's?

And will the BTA sting my RFA?

From reading up on RFAs and BTAs here on R2R, I am confident that RFAs are much more hardy. I have 2 in a 3 month old tank and they're doing well.

However, The experts here recommend 6 months + on a tank, but above that, very, very stable parameters before you bring a BTA home.

I dont know about RFA vs BTA warfare though, sorry.

From my experiences with Rfa’s and bta’s. I’ve seen a few interactions between the two in my tank. I’m not sure how potent the bta sting is but the rfa’s always moved away from contact. I ended up moving two bta out of my tank because they were basically just sitting over my rfa’s. As long as they’re not right on top of each other they should be fine.
