In this live‑stream, host Marcel opens a community space dedicated to responsible pet care, focusing first on turtles (both terrestrial and aquatic) and then interviewing Kiwoko Animal Care technician Carlos Urbano about low‑tech planted aquariums. Marcel outlines best practices for selecting turtle species, complying with CITES, using microchip contracts, and setting up terrariums with proper temperature zones, UV lighting, substrate, and hygiene to prevent salmonella. He then covers aquatic turtle requirements: adequate tank size, a dry basking area, robust filtration, heating, and a balanced diet for long‑lived reptiles. Legal and traceability aspects of pet acquisition are emphasized, highlighting Kiwoko’s contract‑of‑sale and microchip policies. Carlos discusses the philosophy of low‑tech aquariums, stressing natural ecosystem balance, the role of plants in nitrogen removal, and the importance of water quality, temperature stability, and stress reduction. He details equipment choices (lighting, heaters, filters), species compatibility in community tanks (tetras, gouramis, cichlids, shrimp, snails), feeding regimes (pellets, frozen foods, greens), and health management (regular cleaning, water testing, salmonella precautions). The chat provides numerous audience questions about tank volumes, species suitability (betta in 13 L, scalars with guppies, algae film removal, etc.), which Marcel answers with practical recommendations. The session closes with reflections on matching pets to lifestyle, family involvement, and the ongoing plan to feature expert guests in future streams.
