LFS plants not much variety. The price is even hideous!!!!

thats y we collect/pillage them from the wild~

True, very true. Especially driftwood. LFS prices are crazy for a small piece of wood.

if anyone happen to go hunting for Driftwood/bogwood/branchy stuffs/flora/fauna in the wild~ ,
can take a few extras and sell them cheaper here?
i know some of us in here, wont mind paying for it
besides, this way, we can eliminate invasive species of flora and fauna in our country , well, if you know how to differentiate for one
just caught 10 huge Rana catesbeiana last 2 weeks and sold them to Chinese restaurant lol..

use to make trips to collect stuff from the wild
but lately too bz already

anyway, those plants collected from the wild need to be quarantine and clean before entering the tanks.
furthermore, they might not survive in our tanks in the end

therefore for convenience purpose buying from LFS is a much better option imho.

Lelong, lelong.
Or for free :D

Not for sale
need it for my terrariums

Awww.....

Hahaha, guess I have to go hunting for wood this weekend.

those woods got from LFS or pillaging?
trying to get that type of wood while going for an adventure, end up not found anything liek that..

most are from LFS,

only a few are from waterfall. quite lazy to carry them down as its steep and friggin heavy haha..

need some estimation, how much is the average price for the small one and the price for the big one (each)?

the biggest one is the most expensive rm80
the one beside it is about rm15 its collected from the waterfall lolz.
the LFS boss took it down.. in the end i bought it haha..
the rest are between 15-20 for the big one.

the smaller one is between 3-10

cheap..maybe bcoz they are bogwood instead of the branchy driwftwood..

yeah, and also i am a regular customer at that LFS,

those branchy one very expensive, furthermore its not suitable for those theme tat i like to scape.

branchy one more suitable for planted tanks.

hurm... so in the end, my turtles riparium have to hold yet again..due to limited budget(one almost cost me about RM80+ each) and not finding cheap suitable branchy driftwood.. sigh..
its the 5th time~
their current temporary holding cell:

well, its really not recommended to keep turtle in terrarium.

those soft shell will literally turn ur terrarium upside down, use to kept one before in a half concrete tank with pepples, it like to dig inside and cover himself until left his head.

all ur arrangement will be ruin by it.

and for the red eared sliders, while its not as destructive as the soft shell but it poo alot, its goona be very hard to maintain clean water in ur terrarium.

for now it still ok coz they are small but when they grow bigger u will have trouble.

unless u have a big tank with powerful filteration. else a bare minimum tank will be sufficient for them.

lol jk jk

i knew it would result to this..
hurm.. so far, the small CSST usually tries to dig alot... so planning to put barrier rocks while the rest just plain gravel or sand.
for the RES issues, barrier rocks will prevent the RES from eating my plants(immersed), and the plants will help a bit by sucking down those excess poo, and using 2 filters, eheim 2213 and hob or internal filter rated 500l/h type..sigh~
later after 2 years, need to throw them to a cement pool like youve said , since cannot fit the tank already lol

Anyone tried keeping predatory fish like oscars or mala wolf in such design?
since they need floor space then height( I think) . Maybe it can be made possible? in a 3ft and above tank?
Hmm~~ I wonder...

lol genielee.. haha..tibe2 chanas crop pix inside that paludarium hehe
