Hi,
My mom told a colleague at work about my tank breaking. He told her that i can have his tank. I don't know how big it is, but it's BIG (i think in the range of 50gal+). I can also have the filter that comes with it. This is a tank that the colleague inherited from his wife's father. So i'm guessing it's old.
It now houses 2 turtles. The ones with red cheeks. And they're big: about 8 inches each. I want to get rid of them. I'm going to call a shop that sells tropical animals nearby. If I remember correctly they also sell these turtles(big ones, there are several shops that sell small ones). Do you think they would take them?
If not, does anyone have a good recipe for turtle soup? (Sorry Toirtis if you read this )
Since this is an old tank, and probably has not been filled up completely for a long time, what should i do to test it and make sure it's safe? I would also get the stand, so that's no longer a problem (see previous thread by me, in short: my 30 gal broke by using a bad stand)
Should i worry about putting a lets say 50 gal on the 2nd floor of a house? Weight problems? It's a recent house, built in the 80's.
TIA
Thomas
