So i've finally gotten the bug and am considering a second panther. I'm looking for a male Tamatave. After looking here and everywhere on the web, i've realized they have very limited availability. I got my first panther from the Kammers, an Ambilobe. I obviously found that Ambilobes are the...
Thanks for the help! will definitely get back on adding those things you said to the gut load. and yes, the growstones are white. actually tonight, as i was taking out the lava rock from the pot, he had the audacity to come up and go straight for a growstone and ate one and then looks right at...
i'll snap a pic of my cage and post. i had it custom made and he basically made it exactly to how i wanted it. thanks for all the help! i'm gonna get rid of those rocks tonight.

Just got back from the vet. She said it's nothing serious. She examined him and said his behavior was great and he looked great physically other than the spots. She said it could be a cut that got infected or bug bites. she gave me antibiotics for give him.
@ahood, if your guy is acting normal...
awesome FW setup! i've had fish tanks, both SW and FW, my whole life and got my first panther in January. You should be able to adjust to a cham.

@nightanole WOW! I admire your plants. i have a quad fixture with 12% and a plant bulb from todd so i tried to experiment and put a hibiscus in my cage. planted with grow stones, organic soil, and lava rock for good drainage. after a month, i had some bulbs and a couple of flowers... then...
