Hi fellow aquatic enthusiasts...

My first post here!

I am interested in keeping RES again. I used to keep them when I was very little but since I didn't know much then, I just left them in a basin w little water. This time I want to design my Terrarium really beautifully to simluate real life living conditions.

I hope to get tips from you guys on what to get..
- What plants should I get to design it?
- What gravel?
- What kind of driftwood (or land for the RES to bask) could I get?
- What filter & heater/light?

I am planning to get a 3ft to keep 2 RES in.

Thanks guys your input would help me a hell lot.

One more thing, anyone knows where to get albino RES in SG? Or at least for display... Would love to check it out!

THANKS!

p.s. I posted this at Aqua Talk but I realised the post should be here instead.. Sorry, if ppl think I'm reposting!!!

Hi, keeping Red Ear Slider is really a very long term commitment which should be considered very carefully. As they will grow big very fast, you will eventually need a small pond to really create a real living habitat for them..

There are many care sheet, such as http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Car...ear_slider.htm, which can you find through Google.

Hi! Thanks for the heads up.

I have already considered the commitment and I am more than up for it. That's why I have been reading a lot and now hopefully trying to get plenty of advice from the more experienced. Hope you guys would help!!
