All my driftwood came from the beach. I just hosed it off then put it in the tank. My bristlenoses never seemed bothered. I do not think the driftwood would absorb much, if any, salt but it would just be on the surface and easily hosed off.
I could breed danios in an outdoor pond here over summer very easily (in a year with better weather than we have had in the past 3 years :roll: ) as the temp of my breeding ponds sits about 27 - 28C. All depends on where you live.
Oooh some action! It is daylight and she just got up, studied her 2 eggs, did a 360 then some housekeeping before settling again.
Why do I keep checking out this eagle?? :facepalm:
As you can see, the majority of turtles that turn up at Donna's are in need of extensive nursing and medical help, including expensive things like X-rays. All this costs money! If you can help Donna with a donation, please contact her through [email protected] or http://www.turtlerescue.co.nz
They are quite happy down to 18C. They are not coldwater fish but temperate and can be kept in an unheated tank if the room temperature stays 18C or above.
