Thank you for the set, Azrael!

Ich (ick) disease. It is caused by stress and is easily treated with medicine or by heating the tank to 82 degrees for a few weeks. In the United States at least, the ich medicine is very cheap and sold at any pet shop.

It is not the Itch disease. I treat the water nearly every two weeks, but it might be a velvet disease. I am not sure though.

If you can't afford to keep their temps correct I would have to agree with them. ;)

One of my biggest problems is my non flying parakeet. He fracture a wing when very young, and because the stupid vet set it weird, the wing is in a weird position. It doesn't hurt him, he just cant control his flight so he opts not to.

Since, it's fractured, you need to wait until the bones repair. They have hollow bones, and so it won't take much time.

My only pet problem is the disease that is plaguing among most of my corydoras. I think it's internal impaction. Gotta buy the medicine soon, hope them survive till the medicine arrive. :(

Ehm you misunderstood. It healed a while ago. Its not really an issue, it just makes it hard for him to get around out of the cage

This is just the topic i was looking for! Recently, me and my boyfriend got two turtles. These are my first reptiles eveeer. They are water living turtles, but i don't know the exact name of the specie. I'll send a picture so you see what they look like!

Anyone know how many times i should feed them a day? I've fed them once a day.
What water temperature do they want?
How long can they breath under water?
Should i take them out of their tank and let them dry off once in a while?

Looks like some sort of painted turtle/slider.

And they require A LOT of special care to survive well, including:


  • A tank of at least 75 gallons, when adults. They get BIG.
  • An area to get out of the water or they will eventually die.
  • Full-spectrum lighting. This is a necessity for turtles or they get sick.
  • A basking area with a heat lamp.
  • A lot of filtration.

    They'll eat most pellets, and you could also feed them small live/dead fishes and insects and they might like some fresh vegetables too.

    Water temperature should be room temperature or a bit warmer but they need a warm area to bask above water.

    They can hold their breath for a very long time but do not breathe underwater.

    I suggest you research a lot about the care of red-eared sliders. They are not beginner pets.

Wow, didn't know it was that complicated. They have a big tank and I've built a platform for them to get out of the water when they wish.
I have to buy a heatlamp, haven't got thay yet. Other than that, it seems i've got everything you listed..

I've fed them with turtlefood (something i bought at the petstore) and live fish. I'm thinking of buying shrimp, aparently they like that. The previous owner said they don't like vegetables but they do love chicken, so i'll try that too.
But how many times a day should i feed them?

After searching the internet i'm a little confused, some say feed them three times a dag, some say once a day. None of the websites accually give the same information, a little wierd. Other than that i think i'm okay :)
