Yep, err on the side of caution is my default! I was under the impression that axolotls cannot act as a carrier of chytrid while appearing healthy...
That sounds sensible, thank you. Our water is borehole and isn't chlorinated at any point, so if the sand is holding onto any chlorine, I think it...

I haven't, but I am part of a bug forum on facebook and there are a lot of experts there too - nobody had an ID. I figured that if @BugMan is...

I didn't even know if they were available in SA at all, but given their hardiness it wouldn't surprise me if they were blacklisted. I found this...
Like the title says! I have a barebottom coldwater, low light tank of about 70L. It's barebottom as the occupant will swallow rocks, though I have...
Hi guys, been forever since I've been around here. I have a bit of a crisis - I've been moving house a lot in the last year and I will have a...
Well for now I'd throw a towel over the tank - it might not look super attractive but it will keep them from jumping out. I've had to do things...
