I hate three turtles now...and I recently notice how my res often bites my black reeves turtle and doesn't bite my light colour emydura schultzei.

Can anyone help me, I am very curious why she does that.

I don't know whether the video show up or not (it doesn't show up in mine), here's the link http://youtu.be/5rDnU2mzKXY?list=UUNfKp ... Sb04uKnLCA

I'm guessing they can hold a grudge. Are they all tank mates?

[novroz]

No. Kroten is in her own tank, Kurome and Papoe share tank together

[steve]

That's pretty weird. Hard to figure out what our turtles are thinking sometimes

[devilduck]

That is strange! I don't think turtles feel hate, it's probably something about the darker color that triggers his territorial instincts.
