The Silvers, from the LAB Tank will 'kick start' the bacteria- to help ARC brought in some aquarium 'change' water from home and added it to the tank *this water contains good bacteria.
Underpinning this activity is our dedication to animal welfare and care. We reduced the STRESS of capture and transport, and physical injury by:

Underpinning this activity is our dedication to animal welfare and care. We reduced the STRESS of capture and transport, and physical injury by:
