Hey everyone,
I’m in the process of upgrading my 40 gallon breeder to a 60 gallon breeder while Petco has there sale going and I just picked one up this morning. I just want some of your guys opinions on this seal on the bottom if its safe to fill or should I return it for another one.

Looks like they were lazy at the factory and didn't smooth it down. If there is ample silicon between the glass and it looks good/no bubbles, you could probably fill it. But there's always that old saw about if they screwed up the finish, what else did they screw up that you can't see?

If it's easy to take back and they have another one, no reason not to, right? You'll sleep better. If the pet store is over an hour away (like mine), or you lost the receipt, you could always test fill it on the porch and leave it there for a week. Make sure you put some foam under it or something if you do. Good Luck!

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu
