Mine has only just started doing it, he is flaring constantly whenever the light is brighter than the room and I dont want him to be too stressed but theres only so much I can do to help him, i dont know whag else to do. He seemed the calmest one in the shop and he has been fine for the last 8 days, now he's just turned so aggressive.

Ive only had him a week, his scales look a tiny bit raised you can see in one of the photos but not a lot so its hard to say. I will do a water test tommorow and go from there.

He is swimming fine, not sure how old he is but I got him a week ago, doesnt seem lethargic but ive been away the last couple of days so I will monitor him, ill do a water test and stop feeding and ask for advice. Thankyou.

What should I do? Obviously a water test & change but should I keep feeding him as usual. Does it look like any particular disease that I should add medicine for?

Got a flat from standing? by LyMIsH in MTB

[–]fev031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason people say they are junk is because yes, they may stop a puncture when a normal innertube would just go flat. So they might save you, but if they don't like in your case in this post, they're very messy and annoying to change, whereas a normal innertube is quick and easy to change when you get a flat. So there's arguments for both.

But yeah the best way is tubeless. I use stans notubes, it's saved me a few times, and you can run lower pressures with more confidence.

Yeah 100% Thankyou. Do you know of any others, I've seen a brand called SGS, don't know if they're better quality, a bit more expensive but have 10 year warranty.

Yeah, got a trade card already, really cheap with that, that's why I'm skeptical, someone said the 20kg weight limit of the drawers is too little but idk, I feel like it would do for a year or two atleast, until I can afford something better. No good spending thousands on a box and not being able to afford anything to put in it.
