    Pyramiding

    Hello all!! Hope everyone is doing well. I was just curious about my little marginated and pyramiding.

    Shell growth and energy

    Hi all!! I recently posted an introduction to our new marginated, Totoro, and after going thru all the info and reading more on the site I was wondering about their shell and the indents. Also wondering how much they should be moving around. I soak him for 20-30min everyday after work and...
