| 12 February 2025: Due to family commitments and work, I have been unable to update this website and realise it is long overdue for an update. I will start updating the different pages as an overhaul after a long decade hiatus, especially considering how its focus and niche on the Internet will change. |

Mould |
|---|
What does mould look like? Mould can appear as white fluff, black spores or green gunk in the bedding. The white fluff will grow on food that has been kept in the tank for too long. Black spores may appear between wood and moist sand. The green gunk may appear in the sand on the side facing the window. Algae may also grow on the bottom of water dishes if the water stays in the tank for too long. You should also rinse the food and water dishes in hot water and wipe them dry before putting new food and water in them. |
How do I prevent mould growth? You should have good air flow in and out of the tank. Although it is important to keep the humidity in the tank, too little air flow and too much humidity will cause mould to grow. Fresh food should be removed daily and unfiltered water should be removed at least once every two days. Wood that keeps moulding should be placed on top of a rock or dish so that it does not touch the moist sand. If the same patch of sand keeps moulding, thoroughly boil it in salt water and let it dry. If it still moulds, replace that area of sand with gravel or glass gems. |
