Dont believe. Drillz to prove pls

Latest shot of Fly

No problem Mr Sam

Lately i notice Fly likes to eat SW very much. He also munches on Hikari Massivore Delite sometimes. I'm afraid carnivorous diet will make him more aggressive towards other fish tankmates..

Thinking of temporary fiber tank for him. Will house him in concrete pond in a new place. Do u think 4x3x2 fiber tank would be enough? Just for him alone.

Thanks.. will update him in a new tank soon

Looks like a wound from rough surface or substrate. How was the previous enclosure's like?

The guy seems quite big, how much u get him for?

Congrats bro, i think that was quite cheap for that size. BTW i just finished moving my piggy into new temporary tank, sized 4x3x1.5'. The transition went well, from aquarium i scooped him with a net, put him in a plastic tub (the one for baby bathing, lol), brought him upstairs and there he swims in a new house

He seems ok with the new tank, taking sinking wafers rightaway after 20 minutes. I plan to keep the tank bare since we'll be moving to a new place soon.

Some pics :

The transporter baby bathing tub lol :



The temporary tank :

Yeah, these creatures are way hardier than we thought. In my case, my PNT had survived 4 days of torture when i accidentally left the tank with the electricity out (main switch turned off by lightning, and nobody home to switch it on back). It goes 4 days out of filter, out of aeration. 8 of my fishes died in the occation, the water all cloudy and hell smelly, even had oil layers on the water surface.

I was so grateful that Fly survived the terrible accident

Thanks.. when i recalled about the moment, it was his survival that cures my sadness for the whole tank's lost. I have this thought that if i lose him, i may never find any other PNT.. or at least any PNT below rm500 price tag

When u have to transfer, u can just sell them there (i know it may not easy, in certain cases). U can start another experience here, by starting over again. U know, setting up new enclosure, buying new torts..

Dont let changes change u, but rather u change the changes. LOL what i'm talking

Bro, what size is ur biggest PNT? How many do u still keep? Ur pets place, must be quite a wonderful sight, right?

Aww so sweet of u and ur heart.. haha.

Yeah i faced that kind of feelings a few times before. But thats life bro, theres nothing we can do but face it. Pets come and go, so do persons around us. If ever u want anything in life, u have to bear the consequences, and risks. Thats life all about, after all. Full of choices, and also unexpected outcomes. While we only do what we think good, the outcome always a mystery, still.

Whoa.. when readind that^ i was like.. and and

Gosh.. see how long have u been into this hobby.. Finally ive found a real 'otai' in this field..

If ur PNTs start reproducing, u can make lot of profits there Mr Sam. I tell u, if i found baby PNTs here in my place, i dare to buy a whole lot of them in bulk. Because i know the demand will be very high.

Yeah i bought mine for rm100, baby PNT price, about 4 years That was the only time i found baby PNT in any LFS in KB.

Fly & Flo slightly bigger, 2010 flashback

Here's a PNT by a forumer long time ago. Very cute rite?

So quiet nowadays..

I just snapped few shots, just wanna share



Currently in his temporary tank, gliding to his hiding spot, under the filter tank





I dream of providing a good pond home for this fella. With basking area and grassy land..

I know. But i always hv this thought in mind, that he might want to come out to dry surface sometimes. But maybe that was just my thought, he might not even want it if i provide..

How big do u think the pond should be, so that i can keep a few of PNTs together? Like, maybe another 2 females?

Even the space that enormous, how do they avoid aggression?

Also, that amount of water needs serious filtration system

Mr.Sam, do u think i should put some sands or substrates in my turtle tank? Cuz i think he's not happy with current situation, based on amount of food he took, not as much as he used to

I know, cuz my pnts also bury themselves in the sands when theyre younger (in my old aquarium). Problem now is, how to prevent the sands from entering the water pump? I'm using the one like pond water pump, which absorbs water from main tank, not from sump tank.

Also, should i use heater to warm the water? I never used one before, and the turtles seem ok with it..
