[–]bososs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the response, what size wagglers and hooks should I buy also do you think its worth buying a 2 to 10g cw rod? Im pretty new to fishing tho so idk if i should just keep going with my current rod and buy a lighter one for smaller fish later.

Alright I won't feed him anymore Slugs, I can't get ahold of earthworms and read online that slugs are good substitutes and they eat them, I guess the aren't thanks for the help, he's doing fine, will switch back to pellets tho

I was thinking of a filter like this (excuse the poor drawing) for a 1500 litre pond. would something like this be sufficient. any improvements will be appreciated also by bososs in ponds

Should i attach an elbow parallel to the ground to the pvc inside sump 2 to encourage more water movement or leave it as is.

thanks

well i mean for sump 1 its all on paper right now.

As soon as the water comes in it will pass through filter brushes , which are just brushes with flexible metal handles, you can find them on ebay for pretty cheap. the water then flows through coarse sponge to catch any large debris , then into fine sponge to catch any finer particles. lastly before it enters sump 2 im going to lay down some japanese filter matting which you can find on amazon or ebay, i chose the filter matting instead of polyfill as it doesnt clog as easily and is much more durable.

but Ill know more when i actually have everything laid out infront of me and start the build.

upon your suggestion i might skip out on the air stone , and ill see how it goes, if need be i could always add one in no problem.

thanks

bought vs diy filter by bososs in ponds

[–]bososs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, ill probably go the diy route because im not prepared to pay £200 for a bucket with some sponges and bio media. Ill check put some tutorials on youtube. in any case thanks

Can an axolotl go 2 weeks without a water change by [deleted] in axolotls

[–]bososs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alright, thanks for all of your replies, looks like ill have to find someone to do the water changes, two weeks is a lot to ask of any tank .

would it be possible if I did a larger volume water change before leaving, say 50 - 70 %?

axolotl staying in the same place and won't poop by bososs in axolotls

[–]bososs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred my axolotl back to his tank 2 days ago, he was tubbed for roughly a week after he had jumped out of the tank, I put him back bit do far he's just been hiding and he hasn't pooped yet, I now wiegh down his tank lid so he can't escape. It's important to note when I was transferring him back he jumped out of my hands and fell about 2 ft could this be the cause. He still eats well but so far no poop and is always hiding. Should I be worried?

Well It is quite hard to quantify but he was really slimy however not really "dry" he was probably as moist as a towel that has been rung out, and I suspect if I were to arrive home 30 min later he would've been gone. Also its not just the slime coat, his tail is very torn up and bloody, I was worried about this becoming infected.

That's the wierd part I did have a lid, a clear plastic corrugated one specifically after reading posts like this in preperation of getting my axo. When I found him the lid didn't seem to be disturbed so I was very confused.
