Actually i bought another 1 the next day, for him to befriend. 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 sad.gif

Nice turtle... how long have you been keeping Fly?

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.

Wah u own an FRT too? Really excited to see him/her soon rclxms.gif

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 biggrin.gif
*
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.

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.

I think the mistake is, direct sunlight and extreme heat. The big mushroom was not enough a shelter.

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 smile.gif

Must be fun & interesting. Share with us, will u? biggrin.gif

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.. biggrin.gif and will rocks actually hurt the turtle..

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
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.

Good luck bro thumbup.gif

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 !!

As for FRT should be soon as Ms chasing Fs for about a year now ( this sp I think F mature slower )
Cheers

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?

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 !!

Cheers

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 biggrin.gif

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 sad.gif

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.

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.

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.
