Other Turtle Discussion :: New fry

So I got home from my Vacation and found a new batch of guppy frys about 10 total. My single female gave birth to a batch of 16 about three weeks ago. So now there is quite a few of small guppies in Toku's tank. They are doing a good job of avoiding Toku so far.

Run little fishies run. I haven't tried fish (other than a few feeders every now and then) since the great fish massacre of 2007.

O.O you know just reading this, i just remembered i had a huge bluegill in my stocktank with the turtles. He wasnt there yesterday when i completely cleaned the stocktank. LOL wow, didnt even notice.

yeah, I'm surprised but the guppy population keeps going up not down in my tank. But there is a very nice hiding place for the fish. There is about five flathead minnows that call his tank home as well. He is more interested in his greens than he is in the fish but if the opportunity arises, he will eat the fish.

Yeah I originally they would leave most of the fish alone only eating one now and then. I lost all my fish except for a pleco. He could hide in one of those fake logs and only came out when they were sleeping or basking. I think he would still be around if my filter hadn't taken a dump due to the sand issue I mentioned in the past. Water got bad fast and I guess he ventured out when he shouldn't have. I tried getting 2 new plecos but they weren't as smart because they didn't grow up with the turtles.

yeah it is hard to introduce new animals to a turtle tank because they learn the intentions of the turtle when the turtle is breaking them in half with their beak.
