hahaaa! i'm sure u live nearby! i never been there leh... wat turtles is up for sale there ha? mind telling to see whether izzit worth a go? hehe...

neway, whoever is interested in getting a different kind of slider... can drop by Pet's Safari for the yellow bellied slider which is up for sale for RM50/pc...

here's how it looks like...



really looks more 'bright' then RES lor...

me not feeding my turts only on pellets... which infact pellets is not de main food... i feed them varieties of food tat i can find and buy... they ate mainly worms (earth, blood and even meal), veges (any kind! hahaa!), shrimps and sometimes of course pellets lor... never fed them fishes b4 coz' i own musk turtles... no fishie tat small for them tho... hahaaa!!

guys... anyone of u in here are using any cannister power filter running on their tank? i plan to get one this week... do hope can get more info b4 i'm buying one... now still undecided to get whether a china brand or a branded ones which cost double the price of a china brand one... i really don wanna regret later on... and oso don hope things get spoilt easily or bad filtration... wants a money worth spending...

any comment on cannister filter? and i'm looking for one tat is small (for tanks of 1 1/2 feet) and oso comes wif rainbar... in mind now tot of petting de turtles and oso some small fishie inside... hehe... like neon tetra... nice!

do appreciate some feedback b4 i head on to buy one...

i haven't got one yet... but i'm seriously looking for one... just undecisive to go for china brand (those like jebo, dolphin, taiyo or etc etc) or those branded ones like eheim, fluval and etc etc)

anyone in here on turtles use it before? i saw de eheim 2234 i think and it cost RM3++... got promotion as for all eheim products are...

yes... confem eheim products are all up on sale now... go get those lar... nice as i see and best of all after some research... some of them need not wash de filter or de cannister for a long half year!!!

and not just tat... it's oso long lasting and quiet... i'm now searching more info on eheim smaller models coz' my tank are small... plant to haf fishes in it together wif my musk too! hahaaa!!

uzairi... wanna buy together? might get alil' cheaper too... and it comes wif warranty too... 1 or 2 years d... can't recall and all de parts are available even for a small 'clip'... but parts are not cheap lor... biasalar... branded ones mar...

de best part about it is de maintance free part lar... not to say totally maintance free lar... but less maintance and hassle lor... de cheapest eheim model is cost RM200 liddat... model eheim 2211...

interested ka? i'm oso a serious buyer... just tat deciding coz' i wanna see more options available...

okie... same here too then... meaning u r going for eheim? if so, let's survey around for de prices... can it gets cheaper or wat... pet's safari i've just roughly sees it only... gotto see it properly again... will update in here...

i'll oso ask if by buying 2... see whether can get a lil' discount not... hehe... else, anyone is interested too? serious buyer only... hehe...

alrite... if u r there... plz do check out de lower end models ya which is oso de smaller series...

fyi, eheim are on sale now where norm de price are controlled... i saw posters in some aquarium shops and i asked de boss... yes he said...

i'm interested in model 2211 (if still available lar...), 2213 and 2232... if u r there can ask along too wat's included of de filteration and oso de hoses like de rainbar? thx uzairi...

i'll check at my side too...

o yah... since u said u got membership and can get discounts of 5% to 10%... do ask properly tat their discounted price still can get additional 5% or 10% by de membership not... since u got so many turts around... will u be buying alot ka? hehe...

eheim 2213 (wif media content included seperately) as a package - RM280

eheim 2232 - RM380 (standard package)

all comes wif 2 years warranty...

hehe... u went there too ar?? aiya... shud meet up lar... wat's ur contact?

neway, i went to 88 petsmart... eheim 2213 no stock and they don feel like asking do i want to wait as they order... and eheim 2232 cost RM364...

oso dropby natural aquatic for de first time... well, i'm sure tortoise lover will luv tat place... they got alot of tortoises... big, med to small in size... turtles, they haf painted and razorback only... not forgetting green turtles too... and price are not hiked up... for razorbacks, it's RM85... ok ar tis price... pet's safari is selling loggerhead at RM130!

i bot de earthworms too... RM2.50 per pack... inside got alot O... hehe... around 50 of 'em as claimed... taktau lar coz' i really din go count it mar...

o yah... i did asked on a cannister filter china brand wan... taiyo as it's de newest box around... priced at RM90 only full package wif filter media and all de complete hoses... tat was de smallest... alil' much bigger unit will cost another RM20 more...

now i'm waiting for de price from pet's safari and oso pet's family on de eheim 2213 and oso eheim 2232...

meiteoh... i saw in 88marine that there's a medication which can cure fungus of turtles... cost RM14.90 if i'm not mistaken... maybe u can check tat out... or r u oledi using tat on tortue? hope tortue recovers soon...
