I actually have 3 BTA's in my tank at the moment, all of which are thriving. I research thoroughly before making the plunge into buying an animal. I've only lost one BTA so far, and that was my fault for moving it to another tank in my house without properly acclimating it to it's new home. The new tank had WAY more light than a BTA needs or likes, and it couldn't find a spot where it could be happy. I let it move around for weeks, it either was too much light or too much flow.
Anyhow, like I said in my previous post. Nurse it back to good health by feeding it 2-3 times a week BEFORE you sell it. The move from your tank to its new home may cause too much stress for the animal, and eventually killing it and it's new tankmates.
