    First Turtle, long-term foster care ...

    Sandee, these guys live in brackish water. I forget the recommendation but you can fins it on-line. Just up the salinity a little to help heal the fungus and once cured drop it down to normal. If its real bad you can dry the shell and put neosporin on it but it will need to be in a dry tank for...

    First Turtle, long-term foster care ...

    Sliders are easy to keep and adapt ell. I have two in my pond and they winter over with no issues. Well one issue a raccoon took the smallest one. I had two for 10yr and am down to 1; the other my daughter rescued and it too is about 10". Diamond backs are bit more temperamental to care for...

    First Turtle, long-term foster care ...

    Sandee, My son had a DBT he got from someone and it too had fungus real bad. It actually had blister like fungus. Can you post a pic and we can help you better. I would try with some turtle shell cream to clean it. Then you need to gently scrub the shell to get the fungus off using a tooth...

Paul, Here is the blurb I read about vodka dosing which is why I was considering it. "How does it reduce NO3 and PO4?By adding organic carbon, we increase bacterial growth...

    Cleaning sand

    Thanks everyone. I plan to stir a small patch up every few days and during water changes. However I have a bigger problem. I bought a new API Nitrate test kit tonight and it tested 160ppm. Is that even possible? How is anything alive if that's true. What can I do to reduce the Nitrates other...

    Cleaning sand

    How do people clean the sand in their DT? I use to vacuum it but much sand would get sucked out with the dirt and I didn't have much sand to start with. I just put a small 1/2 inch layer for looks. Once in a blue moon I would swirl the sand to get some dirt out. After I redecorated my LR I...

    Betta fish and RO water

    I know people who have kept and bred Bettas. They all used conditioned tap water or let the water sit for a few days before using it. Any tap water conditioner will do. Even though they can breathe air its a sign of poor water quality when they do this. Frequent small water changes are needed if...

    Love of the hobby

    Paul, Terrapins in FW for shame; my son would be yelling at you if he saw this.....LOL My dad got me started as well. We kept 4 tanks guppies, mollies, convict cichlid and I actually had a true piranha. Not mention we went to the beach often during the summer and my uncles had boats. My...
