yup tortoise can be overweight and eats anytime. what kind of tortoise are you referring too? what's the diet?
i think got some caresheets on the 1st page of this thread. by the way, as you're still using those round plastic containers, i presume the turtles are still small. how can you be sure of the sex?

filter is a must unless you're willing to frequently change the water, as res eats and poops a lot. uv is also a must unless the turtles are housed outdoors or being frequently exposed to sunlight.
*
same question came to my mind. maybe the so called "experts" at the LFS told her which was which.

If you're housing them indoors, get a UV light right away. Dont underestimate their importance. Else you will spend months even years of treating their shell.

you can choose not to use a filter, but then you would have to change the water almost every day. the easiest, less maintenance way would be to use a filter. the cheap common ones like the overhead filter would do. plus the larger the water volume the less frequent you have to change water.

nobody breed apple snails in planted tanks. if you wanna try, just stop by my place and i'll gladly give you some. just note that ur planted tank would be like padang jarak padang tekukur in no time  moneyflies.gif (in that case, please save some java moss for me 1st LOL).ramshorn, nerite, trumpet won't grow/breed fast enough and they remain small, bad choice for staple.
*
nope no apple snails in planted tanks (though there is one type of apple snails that wont eat your plants). im not sure how do you define fast breeding but my ramshorns and trumpets breed fast enough to be a nuisance LOL.

anyway, interested in knowing what type of nerite snails do you breed? most nerite snails require brackish water. and there are not that many success stories.


QUOTE(camillenoir @ Jul 4 2007, 05:59 PM)
probably both. because specimens that we received includes both adult and yearlings, all suffered from shell rot. rots into the organs inside, its that bad.

in a paludarium setting, i noticed that malayemys stays on completely dry area most of the time, sometimes in shallow water and seems to avoid deep water. probably the captors failed to emulate this (which captor provides paludarium anyway?) or maybe they're used to shell rotting in paddy fields?
QUOTE(uzairi @ Jul 5 2007, 02:21 AM)
I wonder how they tolerate the shell rot in the wild. hmm.gif
*
QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Jul 5 2007, 06:22 AM)
They are not wormed in the wild and yet they can tolerate the worms , Natures has its way my friend

I think it is because they are not confine to specific living areas ( small , artificial enclosures) and thus no stress level to decrease its immune system ....etc
*
hermm. i guess most shell rots happens in the captors hand. i asked because I was wondering how susceptible are they to disease in the wild compared to in captivity..

like 20 became 10,000 in a month kinda fast...
actually i don't know exactly  tongue.gif .. bought them at 88, labeled 'tiger snail'.

hey, since your ramshorn and trumpet had already became nuisance, why not just pass some to me? extra breeders would certainly boost my breeding projects.
*
wow then i guess apple snails do breed faster than the other types

dang, i just bought a dwarf puffer last week. got rid of the snails in just a few days.
next time when i get a snails attack ill definitely contact you LOL.

if your nerite snail is like below, than i believe its meritina natalensis.
doesn't seem to breed well in freshwater. usually just lays infertile eggs allover the aquarium.. any luck with these?

That is correct!  sweat.gif
Most likely the same, but common snapper wont grow as big as ally snapper. Bigger ally snapper's bite IINM is the 3rd one most powerful, 1st Crocs and 2nd Shark(Jaws).  sweat.gif

what's IINM? 3rd most powerful? awesomeee stuff

Ohhh... ok. So far for now, mine don't wanna take sawi.... but other leafy greens he is ok.... he doesn't like hibiscus leaves anymore but will take the flowers readily. Sigh.... what a choosy tortoise. I guess tortoises can get bored too.

can this happen to non-star tortoises too? my newly acquired elongateds doesn't seem too keen on eating. or maybe they're still getting used to their new home hmm.gif

looks like the chelonian market is active nowadays.. too bad my mum just forced me to buy her a Dendrobium sutiknoi, otherwise got more funds to spend...

some interesting specimens in (or recently) in market:

Sacalia bealei, Sacalia quadriocellata, Platysternon megacephalum, Chinemys reevesi, Phrynops hilarii, Podocnemis cayennensis, Kinotesteron subrubrum steindachneri..
