Unbelievable! How can anyone thought terrapins can live in the sea!

But come to think of it why terrapins cannot survive in the sea? They are not fishes so as long as it does not drink the seawater it should not die wat.

Also i sea turtle only live in the ocean but why if we put in reservoir it cannot survive?

really unbelievable.. somemore bro Ukiya shared with me that, the terrapin died not long ago when he inspected it, estimated time of death was only few hours..

i think it has something to do with the body osmosis?? the body will lose moisture and be dehydrated?? not too sure also actually..

fatality on birthday..

came home late last night to find the picasso whitecaps both having a very weird fungal-looking lump-growth, by the time i catch them out, too late, have lost both of them..

DEFINITELY something fishy going on in my waters, not good enough.. apologies to bro Fuel for disappointing him.. i will be staying away from anymore fishes for the time being, until i'm sure i rectified the issue..

r.i.p. little buddies.

SOrry to hear about it... They are really nice... Might be NTS.. Or fungus infection..

Yup, the osmosis thingy.. It will lose water becos the seawater is more saturated.. IIRC...

i was at Henry's place this afternoon, saw loads of amazing RBTAs.. but i already had 1 below from bro Norman, so i gave all the RBTAs a pass..

YES.. i really really really want that durian to split.. its too big..

Provided they dun start moving but BTA are quire safe...

my method is to separate an island for them.. since they dun traverse over sand, they will be 'stuck' on that island..

They dun?? If it is true, then it is a good idea...

[vt_snowman87]

very unlikely.. the isolated island method is pretty useful, also practiced by some reefers as i've seen on RC..

Den go for it...

Was part of my wish also to create the same effect for tank bottom, prob adding some st Thomas shroom,1purple blue carpet,and some small mini mes lolx

On a side note,the absolve will nt always stay in bubble form,the side may nt b as bubble as always

u are right bro, the bubble-tips have always been a mystery, but i personally believe strong lights will force them to hold their bubbles.. just a personal opinion..

wait for lemon BTA to split === + 10 !!!

[straydum]

i not sure if the isolation method is 100% with BTAs. my carpets floated off their islands even if they can't move over the sand they can always come loose and let the waves take them. perhaps BTAs may also do this?

wait for lemon's new lemon to split..

His will take years to grow and split... so small...LOL..

[yikai]

my RBTA crawled over sand.

did not know it could do that but apparently it did
