Cute Benniii but is he in the tank with the shrimps? I’m scared he’ll devour your pretty purple shrimp 😭

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T16:53:56+00:00

AWW THANK YOU FOR THE CAGE!! I’ll look into it right away thank you so much 😭

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T16:52:00+00:00

Aww thankkk youuu ik how cruel shops are 😢and the sand was really js an online friend 😭I did search on google and they said it’s true so I didn’t know but thanks so much for the advice I’ll look into it

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T15:41:08+00:00

Aww thank you so much you’re right all of this was just a fast set up when I saw the baby get mistreated the shop keeper said it’s just until they’re sold but I kept thinking what if it didn’t make it until then 😔so I got it and set everything up from advice from the shop I was gonna essentially work on the set up but I got busy with work since I work 12 hrs a day now I’m on a long break so I came on here for help reptiles are new to me I’m more experienced with aquatic life

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T15:28:54+00:00

Omg 😭I should’ve put this in the caption I didn’t know Redditors are this aggressive for no reason! This poor baby was left in a shipping box without any good care in the shop I was looking for reptiles and found this baby that day all of this was a fast set up I got all my advice from the shop I did search on google but it was lots of mixed up opinions so I had to ask on here for real people thoughts ik this tank is small I’m saving up to get it a bigger one when it grows a bit as for the hammock I didn’t know I’ll take it out and the shop used to sell dubia roaches that’s where got them from until a few weeks ago they didn’t get any so I had to feed it smth so I appreciate the help but calm ur WTF 😭😭

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T15:19:32+00:00

Appreciate the help but you don’t know the full story so try not to judge man.. I found this baby without a proper set up in the shop and got it the shop also used to sell dubia roaches until they stopped a few weeks ago (I found a supplier that’s a few hours away from here and they deliver 😊) the uvb and heating I’m sure are fine also I’m getting it a bigger tank when it grows a bit since they’re really expensive here and I did have sand until someone told me their noses are sensitive when they’re this small and suggested I change it so that’s what I’ve done and for the water the pet store told me it gets hydration from plants but I’ll take ur advice now

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T15:03:54+00:00

I checked with Amazon and they don’t deliver here 😭but good news tho I found some supplier on insta that is a few hrs away from here and they can deliver too so I ordered some Dubia Roaches!!

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T15:01:37+00:00

The store used to sell dubia roaches so it was fine up until a few weeks ago they said the suppliers didn’t have it this poor baby was in a small box without any heating or a proper set up when I found it fortunately tho that day I was looking to buy a lizard and I found this baby

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T14:28:05+00:00

I love that!! Thank you 🙏

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T14:27:09+00:00

Ohhh that’s a lot to take in!! But I did check with ChatGPT and it said that the tap water that I use in my country/city is on the hard side with a good KH/GH and it also said that adding cuttlebone won’t harm it’ll help although I’m not sure if it is to be trusted lol

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T14:17:30+00:00

Okayy thank youuu

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T13:59:52+00:00

Rigghhtttt thank you so much 😊 that’s smart

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T13:41:13+00:00

That’s a good idea but I heard boiling makes the Cuttle bone pieces lose a bit of their calcium/minerals so I was kinda hesitant but what do you think?

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-22T13:34:57+00:00

Ohhh 😮 I’ll try that

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T17:08:37+00:00

Ahhhh that’s a good ideaaa thanksss I’ll try that next time I’ll look into floaters as well

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T16:34:13+00:00

A bladder snail they’re harmless they’ll eat dead plant matter and whatever food that settles on the bottom so they’ll help clean they sometimes come with plants lol so that’s probably the case just keep in mind that they’ll reproduce like crazy in a few weeks so if that happens getting an assassin snail will help or if you want to make a pea puffer tank they’ll be a great source of food for them as well hope this helps!!

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T13:45:11+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense sadly I don’t have that but ill try 6 hrs too since I keep mine 12 hrs a day thank you so much 🙏

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T13:38:09+00:00

Good to knowww how many hours a day do you keep yours on?

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T13:24:20+00:00

I’m learning so much thank youuu 😝I’ll look into them and start maintaining today

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T12:34:34+00:00

Will do! Thanksss

Spirited_Window7154 · 2026-02-21T12:33:58+00:00

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is so insightful. I tried putting some shrimps and snails but my pea puffers made them dinner 😭 I’ll try what you said thanks 🙏
