    Re: Pics of new bloods! 1.1ablino, 1. sum blood / question.

    Update, the female would not eat, I took her to the vet, the vet said she was fine(set me back 120$).

    So I did a assited feed, she took it 2 times now.

    The male albino was always eating / pooping, he also shed.

    He gained almost 150 grams since I got him.

    I was doing my daily check, and he was dead...

    I don't get it...

    He was always healthy.

    RIP little guy.

    Down 250$ on him.

    Ohwell.

    Sorry to hear about your albino guy.

    By the way, I prefer CHE's (Ceramic Heat Emitters) over UTH's. If you did decide to go that way. I'd use a 60watt on you 20 gallon depending on your ambient household temp.

    im sorry but this is flat out wrong. ive had borneos for 3 years, never once had uth on them. they are doing just fine, always ready to eat and perfectly healthy. you can use overhead/back heat/lighting with them, it does work. and as stated, yes, you should never use a heat rock.
