    Today I went to a LFS that was having a sale, just to take a look. Came back with a BTA for cheap, just couldn't resist the price! My clown has made an immediate bond with it.

    Sorry for the poor quality picture, using my cell phone camera.

    What now? I've read post here and there on how to take care of them and about feeding, but I could use a refresher. How often do you feed your BTA and what do you feed them? What kind of trace elements do they need?

    biggest thing is good lighting and water quality, you dont technically have to feed one, my clowns usually bring food back to mine after they get their fill, it's one of the ways their relationship works, clowns feed it so it doesnt eat them in their sleep lol

    if it is a rose bta and you got it good and cheap then you made out like a bandit...they are usually more expensive then a regular bta
