questions about shedding

labialpitstop Jun 17, 2003 07:08 PM

I have a couple of questions about shedding here:

1) How often do your atb's shed?

2) How long does it take for them to complete their shed?

Ohh yeah......
I have some other questions too...

1) What is a good temp to keep an atb at (it is really hard to get info on that)?

2) how large of a tank should I get/construct in terms of gallons?

Thank you very much. This forum is a life saver! It is so hard to info on atb and here I can get it very easily!! Thanks to all those that participate!!
