Pairing Pink Skunks

[stlrams88]

If this sebae goes, will the pink skunks host an RBTA or BTA, I got a guy offering me one of either for free.

Back in the day my pair was hosted by an BTA, (( and an LTA )) before the Haddoni.

Think that a BTA would be better suited for your tank anyways.

Probably, I think I am going to contact this guy and let him know I want the bta. Would the rbta be okay though? I really like the look of the rbta.

There is no difference (( excluding color )) between BTAs. As far as care goes, green is the same as red as any other color morph.

Okay thanks. Btw, is there any chance this sebae could have eaten a 2" diamond goby? Mine went missing and I turned the tank inside out looking for it, no luck. I have read that they will sometimes eat aquarium fish, so I am thinking that could be what happened.

It is always possible, and in a smaller tank the chances get higher. But, they are great jumpers and can hide surprisingly well.

Back when I had one, I didn't see it for a month (( granted this was in my 75 )), so I assumed it died. I picked up another one, and low and behold the one I thought was dead came out to fight.

That is what I figured, its probably hiding in a rock somewhere. Only thing that concerned me is he didnt come out when i tossed some food in there. Thanks again for all your help.

Update: got the other pink skunk today, only been in the tank for about an hour, and all seems good so far, I am keeping on the lookout for signs of pairing. As you will see in the pic, the sebae is toast. It is going back to the LFS wed. and I am getting a BTA Wed. The clown on the right is the one I just picked up tonight.
