Blue Singapore

[AlexWthePetGuy]

About 3 weeks ago I picked up a Blue Singapore. Now I know they are a defensive T but the last week he' been very calm which sounds weird but I don't like. I recently transferred him to a different tank and it seemed like he had no energy. Any suggestions on what to do?

How big is he???

How big is he???

Not very big. Take a guess less than 5 inches extended

I'm taking it he's not fully matured... does he have access to a water dish??? If he's well hydrated then it could be in premolt.

I spray the tank with water every couple days like the pet store said and I just put a water dish in there a couple of days ago. The pet store said he shouldn' n one. He hasn't matured in the last month but he was walking around his old tank a lot.

Don't spray...too much moisture will kill him. Let it dry out and over flow the water dish once a week. Pet stores tend to give bad advice when it comes to raising Ts.

You want to make sure he has good cross ventilation. A extra wet encloure without good air flow will kill him quick.

It's dry, I only spry it 3 times tops depending on how much water comes out. It' vented through the top well and a strip along the front.

Ok...sounds good. Just overflow the water dish really good once a week. He's probably in premolt. Youll get good advise on this site. Theres lots of really nice people here that know alot about Ts.

Side note...its better to make it rain then spray.

I only have to water once a week for my T's like yours that like a little more humidity. Spraying evaporates too fast and the Ts hate it. Just drill some holes in a pop bottle. I fill their bowls and soak the substrate around the bowl. Just make sure to leave a dry side for them.
