Other Turtle Discussion :: Triop

[turtlebro]

Does anyone keeps triop with turtles?
I was told that they eat algae
So that make them a tank cleaner huh?
Wondering if turtles ate them would it possibly affect the turtle's health?

I would say the turtle would eat them for sure. They are not very fast. If a turtle were to eat them no it wouldnt do anything.

Algae cleaner usually produce more waste then they're worth. Just gonna have to deal with the algae.

plecos are good algea eaters, but they do produce alot of waste.

they are pretty fast but as they start to grow the slow down.

unless they have a place where the turtle cant get to them they will be sushi

I mean triop is a kind of crustacean
Not my pleco's name
Or I have misunderstood ?
Never mind that's not the point
Triop reproduce fast so I am thinking to get some for my tank =D

I mentioned pleco as another algae eater.

triops have the same fate as any other animal you put in with your turtle.
