Do you think they'll thrive well in a screen enclosure? but with the right substrate like peat moss?
Can i put 1 adult cherry head into a 4 ft tank? lol |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 24 2008, 09:49 PM) Just spray the enclosure often as our country is humid enough for them Just that those extra that we might provide will dry the enclosure a bit thus the supplement spraying to help maintain the humidity !! Well then, i guess im ready for my red foot then Why not even adult Red footed can fit in a 4 ft tank just that substrate need spot cleaning more often as they poo a bit !! |

Lol, smaller fish shops around KL sells ocadias for 9-10 bucks. I got a pair, has been with me for nearly a month now.
Can recommend some diets we can give to our ocadia's? |

QUOTE(Omegaminx @ Dec 14 2008, 04:04 AM) Sulcatas are originally African based, so something semi-arid or dry would be best...try using big woodchips or recycled paper pellets.. Recycled paper pellets or woodchips, thanks Avoid alfalfa or woodbark.... Sulcata will grow to large proportions if u intend to keep them for many many years...otherwise they are pretty cute fellas... Just my 2 sen Cheers |

Good for you you have tasted, now i know what to try
Yeah, i am malaysian chinese, and also, im also sure that lots of people here including me, (besides you) have only seen the ones they serve in chinese restaurants, and usually have white undersides I also think that soft shell turtles they serve in shops, also are called sui yu, and like you said, to the locals, in north aussie or what other places you stated, might be called sui yu, but to us? I don't want to cause a racket here. Just stating out what i think. This post has been edited by beardiekid: Dec 19 2008, 09:08 PM |
