I name them Fly & Flo. But later Fly showed extreme aggression, so i have to sell either one. Since Fly is my '1st love' LOL, i chosed him over Flo. And yes, maybe he's male, since he's the bully. Very sad to let go of Flo, becuz i love her as well, but i have no choice Pic of them when small » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by antzz: Sep 29 2012, 07:53 PM |

QUOTE(mic_tcs @ Sep 29 2012, 08:54 PM) Thanks bro.. I bought him by late 2008. I had RES (red ear sliders) before, but doesnt suit me well at that time.He has been my best pet ever. I would choose him over the whole aquarium, if i hv to make the choice. |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Sep 30 2012, 05:45 PM) wow that's big at 12" but There's still more room for growth keep it up !! Wah u own an FRT too? Really excited to see him/her soon Thanks for sharing - will post my piggy when I do water changer next week !! But I think mine will be darker as outdoor with exposure to sun light . Cheers QUOTE(yeohkc @ Sep 30 2012, 05:59 PM) hello guys.. happy mid autumn festival. I am planning to move both my RES outdoor as they grow up pretty fast.. anything that I should aware of before doing so? thank you Wait, pls be careful of extreme heat from direct sunlight. I dunno if its just me, but i think small RESes cant stand it. I used to keep a pair of RES in a plastic tank outside. Later both died. I learned that u shud at least hv certain depth of water in a pond, so that the water temperature wont get too hot. Later i'll post pics, if i hv time. |

QUOTE(yeohkc @ Sep 30 2012, 08:04 PM) simple and nice setup. btw do you fill it with sufficient water that time and provide filter for them? My bad. I think i dont need water filtration since i do water change regularly, and the small fishes live happily with no problem at all.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I think the mistake is, direct sunlight and extreme heat. The big mushroom was not enough a shelter. This post has been edited by antzz: Sep 30 2012, 08:33 PM |

QUOTE(yeohkc @ Sep 30 2012, 08:43 PM) oic.. well i think the direct sunlight might be a serious problem tho. I heard few stories that their RES died because expose to sun for a long time.. and water get too warm easily in our country.. Yeah.. But u plan to place them under shelter right? In a bath tub some more Must be fun & interesting. Share with us, will u? |

QUOTE(yeohkc @ Sep 30 2012, 09:09 PM) haha. good reference but that one too extreme and do not have much space to do it that nice. btw I plan to do something like in picture. But I cant put lighting and wonder if I need filter for it.. Nice enclosure. I think should use filter too, will save a lot of hard work later. And also, its nicer to have sounds of running water, instead of still water without filtration system.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Good luck bro |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 1 2012, 02:23 PM) I think I am over-rated !! But I sure bred quite a few both local and imported sp but still far from all sp I owned ( many sp due to lone specimen or still immature size ) some sp just all male or all female and can't source the opp sex for now !! U must be well-experienced, being succesful to breed different kind of turtles and tortoises. Any rare species u keep? Do u have Alligator Snapping Turtles (AST) or Common Snapping Turtle?As for FRT should be soon as Ms chasing Fs for about a year now ( this sp I think F mature slower ) Cheers |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 2 2012, 09:14 AM) wow what expensive diet !! But I think not " fresh" enough !! How complete it's still formulated feed/pellets - only that blood worm is natural . But fruits n insects do cloud water but good for breeders in the long run !! Can buy expensive brands because i only have one turtle LOL. And sharing with other fishes somemore. I would like him to enjoy fresh foods as well, but maybe later when i can afford a pond, in a coming new house maybe Cheers My tank » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by antzz: Oct 2 2012, 09:52 AM |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 3 2012, 03:13 PM) An Anabias Testudineus (climbing perch/puyu) & small goldfish as feeders. Just lost my dear mahseers few weeks ago.QUOTE(Violent Carrot @ Oct 3 2012, 03:25 PM) Hi, Me & my dear currently have 2 red eared sliders, but since we cant get them to bask under sunlight, the shell is shedding a little bit. I think they're getting unhealthy I think u should sell them off, or just give it to a new owner. If ure close to my location then i might consider them.Since we're poor people we cant afford to buy indoor basking equipment for them... If there is anyone interested to adopt, please contact me ya. I hoped they will get a better living place rather than releasing them into Tasik Shah Alam..... Their size is as big as an adult's palm, long around 4inches. Bought them last year.. Thanks. |

QUOTE(Violent Carrot @ Oct 6 2012, 11:49 AM) I bought a block of ocean wood block(duno what to call it) for them to bask, but since i need to change the water often & the aquarium very heavy, its very hard to move it out. the ba;cony is also the place my housemate dry their clothes, so not much place to fit them in. Put outside also very hot & sunny, i scared they will die.. Yeah they may die if u just leave them under direct heat. Please be careful. I think u should advertise for adoption somewhere, maybe on mudah.my or anything. Good luck. |
