Hi there,
I know turtle are not cichlids... or even fish for that mater... but I'm hoping that someone might have some experience or wisdom on this matter as I have found this site to be very helpful with my other aquatic interests.
My girlfriend and I have taken on a 12 year old soft shell turtle that has not been properly cared for practically it's entire life.
We have set him up in a nice tank with a sandy bottom, rock water fall/filter, and piece of driftwood for basking... when before he spent his entire life in a bowl of water with a couple of larger pebbles...
Anyways... my question is... the driftwood has stained the water a whole lot more than I thought it would. It does not seem to be affecting him, but... do any of you know if tannins are harmful to soft-shells?
Thanks!
