How can it be erased?

Not sure

Hows your tortoises by the way?

Ha.. they r doing fine?

How's yours? Still on mazuri's diet? I feed them mainly mazuri on order to save time nowadays..

Hello,
I been keeping them like 9 month plus now.. i clean their filter 2 week once..
But i never see any red worm before. Before this i keep them in my hostel.. now when the semester holiday start.. i keep them outside of my house.. after that i began to notice this red worm..


The question is.. is it normal to find red worm inside their tank? Are they some kind of parasite?

What are you keeping? Red worms?

I think it's midge fly larvae. I dealt with it by aiming the filter outlet to splash in the water.

Hahaha.. i forgot to mention there.. red eared slider.. lol

Yup.. i did some googling after posting here.. they are blood worm.. larva of non biting midge.. they really look like a mosquito..
They are harmless right? Since ppl using them as feeder..

Mine is doing very well. He at my parents house currently till I back. I am surprise how tame tortoise can be. The little fella literally woke up and move toward my mom feet when he seeing/hearing my mom's voice.

I think I have to find a new pair for myself. Got a feeling that my mom want the tortoise permanently...

Haha, lucky you. My gf doesn't like them much, said they r dirty & smelly..

Btw, do u have any idea how heavy the female needs to be before they r ready to lay eggs?

My male is only abt 5 inches & 400g but i saw on many occasions that he keeps mounting on my biggest female (abt 8.5 inches)..

how much is a 5inch star tortoise at this point? i know i'm being ignorant asking this but i'm just curious. anyone with knowledge do enlighten me. thanks!

Not sure, depending on species and their age of sexual maturity I guess.

I read somewhere that paring 2 male and one female for a bit of competition between the male may enhance the chance of fertilization

Should be >RM 450, easily.

Sharing few shots of PNT's current tank

Hii antz, if u don't mind to share the diet of ur pnt..I am currently feeding all my pnt with algae wafer and carnivore sinking wafer only..ur pnt looking good anyway..

Currently on Hercar Sinking Wafer, Hikari Water Turtle Stick, Hikari Massivore Delite, and Koi pellets he steals from koi. Sometimes he got SW and dried krills as a treat. How big is ur pnt? Now very difficult to find one rite?

I am pairing 2 females & 1 male in the hope of getting more eggs. The lone male has to work harder..

Hrmmm..wa...lol...mine macam don like floating pellets..thats whyy...less choice...my pnt smaller than urs-.-
i think got season oww..quite easy to get in east malaysia here..just being offered during cny...but i got d.loll
