Hi! Introduce yourselves here. :: Hello!

Drop a post to say hi. Please ask care questions in the forums below.

Post Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 12:04 am   Hello!

I have several aquariums at home with a variety of tropical fish: catfish, loaches, botia, puffers, guppies and some other fish to fill the space above the rocks. Now there is a turtle at work and he just got a new 30 gallon tank and a craigslist Fluval 205 to hopefully keep him happy for a while.

Technically, he's not my turtle, but I feel sorry for him. He was living in a 10 gallon toilet before a coworker and I decided he needed help. So now I've been reading about turtles at this site.

He's about 2-3 years old, 4 inches long and 142.5 grams. Hopefully, he's a lot happier with more room to swim around and a tank with a REAL filter!

I'm hoping to learn more from all the experts on these forums.

That's very nice of you. I think whoever bought the turtle initially should make sure that he is properly cared for, but I'm glad you pitched in.

There's great information on the forum and on the main site. Enjoy.
