Thanks. I’ll try everything else first. Just ordered a extra filter with uv and purigen etc.

Thanks for the reply. RE drinking water it’s tapwater and safe for human consumption but obviously still need to dechlorinate for the fish. Can you advise if any medications will help him please? Do you think the vet is best way to go? I’m concerned the 45min drive may kill him.

Hi please can someone help us? We’ve got a RTC that’s a rescue, we’ve had him nearly a year now. He was kept in a really small tank and his growth was stunted so we don’t know how old he is. He’s grown about 1” a month with us though and is now about 2ft 6”. He’s been healthy, active, no...

Sorry just seen this. Yes he’s growing at about 1” every few weeks. He’s about 21” now I got him in a 6ft tank and it took him a few weeks to settle again. He’s just started trying new food this week. For a few weeks we could only get him to eat haddock and he’d refuse anything else. He’s...

Beautiful fish thanks for the info, I’ll order some of the NLS. He’ll get plenty of veg, salad, fruits and floating plants. I’ve got a lot of water lettuce growing in the tank anyway so he’s welcome to munch on that

Hi I’ve just reserved a giant gourami and I’m trying to do a bit of research and planning before I pick him up. Tank, filtration etc is all covered. He’ll be a friend for my rescued rtc and eventually they’re gojng to live in a indoor pond. I’m just trying to buy some pellet food for him...

Thanks for the reply, we’ve had a rubbish winter also. I lost one of my turtles who’s been great outside for years . Brought the other one inside and he’s doing well now. He won’t be going back outside anyway so I’ll have to take the risk. I’ll have a look at air exchangers, also with him...

I had sturgeon years ago in the uk. Unfortunately they died one warm summer even with good filtration and an air pump. There might be ways to do it but ours is a deep pond as well.

We’re going for a 6ft x4 ft x3 ft deep. He’s been kept in a 3ft tank for a year and it’s taken him a while to get used to a bigger aquarium. I don’t want to scare him by giving him too bigger space. We’re probably moving within a few years so this ones only temporary. He hasn’t grown while...

If you put soil in the bottom they’ll lay their eggs in it. I use the gel crystals so they have plenty of moisture without drying out. Mine have bred in the bioactive bearded dragon viv which is great as I can use the babies for anole food. Been trying to breed them in a big tub as food and a...

Thanks. Yes my red eared slider would be big enough but he’s in with two map turtles are bite sized still.

I never thought of that. My sons got a lot of snakes in the lounge so their substrate should absorb it also. What’s the best plants for absorbing it and stopping the mould please? If anyone else has any tips or hacks it’s greatly appreciated. I’ve kept fish for 25 yrs but never monster...

Hi everyone. We’ve recently rescued a redtail catfish and I’d like to build him an indoor pond. We’re in the uk, and I’m aware that condensation/mould could be an issue. We do have windows open most of the time as I’ve got dogs but I’m concerned about the humidity in my lounge. I have...
