would ghost shrimp hurt my baby res turtles? my turtles are 1inch

Hmmm...I doubt it, but there is always the chance. They usually won't catch anything at that size.

I can't remember how big ghost shrimp get, but I wouldn't give them to a 1inch RES. If they're like Krill, then you should probably wait until he/she is atleast 2- 2 1/2 inches big. I started giving mine live food when she was 5inches(Krill and tried a few guppies). That's probably late, but I didn't have her until she was about 5". If your baby isn't catching/eating them or their making him/her uncomfortable, I say take them out or put them in a seperate tank/enclosure.
Hope this helped

i jsut got them -_-. and i also got a cat fish 2 eat the poop. since my turtle doesnt eat fish.

Just because they haven't, doesn't mean they wont!

well yesterday i bought a fish and petsmart said he gave me a catfish and it looks like it. i had alot of poop on the sand in my tank and 2 day there isnt none

It's probably just under the sand. As stated above, they don't eat poop.

cory catfist does. i look it up

I did. They don't eat poop. They are bottom feeders and scavengers but they do not eat fish waste.

Cory cats will help with food that falls to the bottom, but they definitely don't eat poop. I have 3 of then in my tank, entertaining to watch, but there its no magical way to get rid of turtle poo.

There is a magical way to get rid of turtle poo. A really good filter.

I remember when I finally upgraded to my fluval 405, it actually did seem pretty magical!

Amazing what a difference a good filter makes, no?

Ya, fish don't eat poo. The on't thing that I have ever had eat poo in one of my fish tanks was some Ghost Shrimp. The corys probably just buried it or something.
