6103. Caring for a 3-month-old red-eared slider in an apartment.

 

 SINGAPORE - 24 JUN 2026: A small plastic tank with water to house a 3-MONTH-OLD RED-EARED SLIDER. it has a green basking platform (R), 50-watt heat lamp (R, corner), submersible heater set at 28 to 30 degrees C set on for 24 hours and a water filtration pump with sponge and charcoal filters which must be replaced 1-2 monthly. The set up is in a pet shop selling sliders.

 

 

Caring for a 3-month-old red-eared slider in an apartment requires a 15 to 20-gallon tank (upgrading to 40+ gallons as it grows), a submersible water heater (76°F -- 85°F water), a dry basking dock, and specialized UVA/UVB and heat lamps. Feed them daily with high-quality pellets, insects, and dark leafy greens. FEED them in a separate tank to keep the main tank water clean.

Tank Setup & Water Quality

• Tank Size: Start with a minimum 15 to 20-gallon tank, but keep in mind they grow rapidly and need 10 gallons of water per inch of shell length. [1, 2]
• Water Depth: The water should be deep enough so the baby can easily flip over if needed, usually around twice the length of the shell.
• Filtration: Turtles are extremely messy. Use a high-quality submersible or canister filter rated for twice the volume of your tank to keep ammonia and nitrate levels safe. [1, 2]
• Maintenance: Perform weekly 25% water changes. According to a consensus among keepers on Facebook, you should do 50% changes when nitrates are high, but never clean the filter media and change the water during the same week to protect beneficial bacteria. [1, 2]
• Substrate: Use either bare bottom or large river rocks that are bigger than the turtle’s head to prevent choking. [1]

6102. Five twenty-year-old red-eared sliders in 2026 in a HDB flat

 24 Jun 2026 interview with a 37-year-old man who has the sliders for the past 20 years.

1. FEEDING 
1.1 3-month-old. 3 globular pellets in a separate tank daily. Everyday brand.
1.2  Older ones. Bigger pellets. Don't give variety such as vegetables or shrimp as slider will eat only shrimp. One of his sliders eat shrimp only. Another ate fish pellets. Also water will be smelly.
1.3  Feed in separate tank of water. Pollution. Save on filter changes.

2. WATER FILTRATION
2.1 3-month-old. Small filters of carbon or sponge. Need to replace monthly or two-month. Sliders fed in separate tank to prevent pollution of water.

6097. Video hawker centre. Gemini AI generated. No cost.

VIDEO. I asked Gemini AI to generate a video of four interesting Seniors who meet weekly on Thursday for lunch and dinner. They were ex-colleagues some decades so long ago. I had lunch with them at Kopitiam Food Hall, VivoCity Mall. One wore the red Manchester United shirt. Another wore a faded orange polo shirt. The third and fourth wore shirts with buttons. See the Gemini AI generated video. 

SCRIPT was created by ChatGPT after I wrote a few sentences as follows:

create a video of four elderly men sitting on a table drinking coffee

and eating lunch in Kopitiam Food Hall, Vivocity in Singapore. These Chinese men are

over 70 years old. They meet to connect socially and have meals on

Thursdays. The Food Hall is modern, fully air-conditioned, low ceiling, bright and crowded with people at the various food stalls waiting for food to buy

----------------------------- 

 

16 Jun 2026: I used Gemini AI to generate the 10-second video.

Script was created by ChatGPT.  Create a video. inside VivoCity hawker centre dining area during a busy Thursday lunchtime in Singapore. Four elderly Chinese men over 70 years old sit together around a square table drinking traditional local coffee and eating lunch. They are longtime friends who gather weekly on Thursdays to socialize, talk, laugh, and maintain friendship in retirement.

The men wear casual Singaporean senior attire — light short-sleeve button shirts, polo shirts, comfortable trousers, sandals, and simple watches. One man in an orange polo shirt slowly stirs kopi in a ceramic cup. Another wearing a red Manchester United polo shirt eats chicken rice with chopsticks. Another in a blue short-sleeve button shirt smiles while telling a story. The fourth in a yellow short-sleeve button shirt listens quietly and laughs warmly. Their facial expressions show companionship, familiarity, and emotional comfort.

The hawker centre environment is lively and realistic. Crowds of Singaporeans queue at food stalls buying local dishes such as chicken rice, laksa, char kway teow, and nasi lemak. Food stall signs glow brightly. People carry trays through crowded aisles. Ambient movement fills the background naturally. Air-conditioned air from ceiling vents cool the diners below.  The atmosphere feels cool, social, noisy, and authentically Singaporean.

Camera style is cinematic observational documentary. Flourescent lighting from VivoCity centre spot lights mixed with warm indoor food court lighting. Shallow depth of field isolates the elderly men while keeping the bustling hawker centre alive in the background.

Shot sequence:

• Wide establishing shot of crowded VivoCity food court during lunchtime
• Medium shot of four elderly men seated together talking and smiling
• Close-up of kopi cups, chopsticks, wrinkled hands, and steaming local food
• Slow-motion shot of people queuing at busy hawker stalls
• Over-the-shoulder conversation shots showing friendship and connection
• Ambient crowd movement and food preparation in background
• Final warm wide shot of the four friends laughing together at the table

Mood: warm, nostalgic, humanistic, socially connected, slice-of-life Singapore documentary.

Visual quality: ultra realistic, cinematic, natural skin texture, authentic Singapore food court atmosphere, soft cinematic bokeh, 4K, stable camera motion, realistic crowd behavior, natural audio ambience.
