and is it a must for PNT to have alkaline water??

I comm my PNT with 3 indon tigers. I have heard of PNT preferring alkaline water but i have never paid attention to the PH of the water and it turn out fine. I guess it is more important to maintain the water and keep ammonia level low cos PNT shit a lot.

The only thing you have to watch out for is the shell peeling off if the pH is too low

So far my water is buffered with coral to raise the pH coz I have driftwood in the tank

Tank mates for my PNT are:

2 Parrot Fish
3 ATs
1 Gulper Catfish
1 Aguarunichthys torosus
3 Spotted Raphaels
3 Chocolate Raphaels
1 SB Albino Senegal
1 Reed Fish
1 Fire Eel
4 Kois
2 Emperor Red Hooks
1 Syno Cat
1 Golden Algae Eater
1 Apple Snail....
2 Peacock Bass
1 Irwani

Yeah yeah I know my comm is damn weird lor but I blame that on my CO. Anyhow buy fish to throw in. >.<"

This morning I found my piggy on top of the driftwood structure meant for my catfishes

I never found out who was the actual murderer of my giant gourami (ok,, it was small)

but the 2 pnts were caught nibbling on the headless fish aft my 1 1/2 hour bath

does pnt eat feeders? how big must the tank be to keep one?

It does eat feeders but very opportunistic
Eg, like the feeder swim past and it managed to catch, or it eats the feeders that died off the bottom of the tank.

They can grow up to 70cm shell length.....so actually they need a pond
But when they are small you can keep them in a tank

Mine is 8.5" and looks tiny in a 5' tank
