    Well, most toys do have a safety rating to tell parents that they're not meant for small children below a certain age. Almost everything has a safety seal for the items that have cleared testing. Just like how our filters and lights are certified safe, when they have the testing sticker by our own government body like PSB.

    As for the red-eared sliders, I'd definitely want to see them banned for sale. Too many kids buy them without actually taking care of them. I wonder how many hundreds or thousands of innocent baby sliders are killed by neglect or pure malice.

    Chinese... Cuter...

    But seeing that I like the paddletails, which look similar to the Japanese... Think I'll find them both attractive...

    I just tried to use sinking pellet for my japanese FB newt

    Surprisingly he went for it, and has consumed about 3-4 pieces already. They are small cylilndrical ones. Quite smelly type of pellet so probably very high protein food

    those round things that colour up at the side of the mandarin newt are actually noxious sacs. When a predator bites into the newt.. a mechanism at the back of the sac burst it against the closing jaws of the predator and release the bad tasting and noxious chemicals.. thus the predator hopefully releases it. dont go bursting them if you have one.. they dont use it unless they have to...its not that good for them either..but if they have to use it to survive..they will.

    Justin, dun think most of us will ever get our hands on the mandarins in Singapore.

    Shannon, would they survive travelling 40km? You can use it to feed your other fish?

    The flesh on the bottom lip of my newt seems to be injured, like being eaten away. No other fish in the same tank other than a cory. Just did water change. Any other advise?
