[jonlmarcella]

So, Ike and Tina just got a new 55 gallon tank after suffering in a tiny dish in china town then in my 10 gallon tank for way too long. Here's some pics of them and their habitat:

She's standing like people!


Looking grumpy.


They like to rip up the silk plants. Also, I haven't seen this fish in a while...


Kicking it on the rocks.

Nice turtles What kind of stones are you using in the basking area?

[jonlmarcella]

Steve, these are paving stones I got from Lowes. I have about 5 of them for a grand total of $17.
They're supposed to tessellate together for a walkway with some variation from using different sizes. I just put the big ones on the bottom for stability, then stacked the little ones like steps. I took them a few days but they figured it out. Now they lounge there all the time.
