Well I was looking into getting a baby bearded or water dragon while I was in Eugene but found something better, baby Chinese Golden Threads which is of the few legal species of water turtle I can keep here in Oregon. So Monday I am gonna go pick one up. After we went to the reptile store we, went an awesome lfs called Aqua Serene and found a short body flowerhorn for $30. I have been looking for a Kirin parrot so this is the next best thing. I will get some better pictures once it colors up in a couple days.

Its in a 10 gallon because it has a mild case of ick and I'm gonna treat it. The filter has carbon in it but has been in the tank for over a couple weeks, should I still remove it?

I know but I heard old carbon wont. I usually let the filter run but take the cartridge out.

Carbon will counter most meds.
Also 3 weeks, the carbon could soon start releasing all the toxins it has soaked up back into the water.

Take it out!!!

It varies, the biggest short body I have ever seen in person is about 7" barely touching the 8" mark. And this was a 4½ year old SB. So it's pretty much grown out...
