  1. the little blennies and triple fins do all right so long as you keep the water at the bottom of the tropical range wont stand it above that for too long my parore enjoys 24 - 25
  2. what breed is it please we can take it mark
  3. hi repto 2 of them have been handled since 2 days old the rest will tolerate you near them only struggle when you grab them
  4. they will drag the sand into the water, they use the water to defecate in and as a place to hide i have a pump and column filter on the pond for ours, also swordies in the water that are now breeding any of their substrate ends up in the pond that is why we have grass carpet on the floor dont use stones as substrate as if they get a fright they can spray stones into the glass as they take off keep on handling them and they will stay tame
  5. probably anything that gets in its way nice turtle
  6. big fish henward has it damaged the aro you got as well yet mine lives with an aro but is only 1/2 the aro's size cheers mark
  7. spend most of their time under rocks, so you dont get to see them very much. if you are turning over rocks while looking for things, please put the rock back in the same position. e.g right way up
  8. legs broken off ? thats why they call them brittle stars - defence mechanism
  9. no on the top, to let the heat escape, is yours a solid roof ? i make an mdf frame with mesh attached
  10. he is looking for food when i approach the tank but wont take it from the hand yet the jardini does though
  11. maybe the worm is breeding, never heard of this before sounds like one of those african or S american worms that burrow under the skin and lay eggs
  12. i run mesh on the all glass ones to let the heat out in summer
  13. trapped 2 more younger ones this morning in the same area found the entry hole too
  14. most of the ones i have seen are between 10 - 30cm
  15. was a dirty little weasel maybe i got them all so now the rat population is growing have bait stations and fenn traps around the property, thats why we are putting up the predator fence some of axys outside, but golden breeders and harlequin,(well spotted anyway) inside
  16. depends on size of fish, have kept them in 4 foot plus tanks before can sometimes be found on mount beach during and after a good onshore storm, they get stressed in wave action, puff up then are poor swimmers and get pushed to the shore if you can get to them early enough and into a bucket of saltwater they calm down and deflate, if they aren't too damaged they last quite a while in tanks keeping is same as other local marines but they can take bites out of other fish if hungry, can take a while to settle
  17. yes axy is dead, he had started eating it from the back while it was alive, had to put it down noticed a lot of my fans are missing from next pond, rat traps out tonight
  18. I've caught and eaten 10 - 12 inch ones top of australia very nice too
  19. wouldn;t it have been cheaper and bigger to put a small conservatory off the lounge then when "she who must be obeyed" was annoyed with you , you could have been in the dog, no reptile house :lol:
  20. Just shot a rat he jumped into the axolotl pond outside, caught an adult axy dragged it out and started eating it :evil: lucky the air rifle was handy
  21. No No on the mixing of these 2 it will save on feeding the turtles if you do you won't have to feed the axys either as they will end up dead
  22. our aro has been reluctant to eat since we got him so ive been feeding mice to get him going the Jardini grabbed a mouse today, but it was too big for his mouth, he swam around with the front half hanging out the aro lunged and took the front piece completely off, the jardini spent the next 2 hours sulking at the back of the tank
  23. sorry for the comments Broms i only open my mouth to change feet ! i imagine you did some crawling to get that beauty, in the house even nice set up !
