You can feed your turts what ever you want but some fish are not that good for them to eat!

[Kansasslider]

And they will eat them.

Sorry I'm using a phone.

Yes, but, he doesn't go after the fish lol.
And when he does, I'm prepared to take out/regulate it. I have extra 20, 10, and 36 gallon tanks in case I need to separate turtle from fish or fish from fish or whatever the case may be.
He's also in my room by my bed, so I can check on him constantly and check for any fish missing/floating fish parts/dead fish/etc.

There aren't many fish out there that can eat a turtle. And most likely you won't be able to get one that can. Since you have 1 turtle it would give faster fish chances to survive.

I have 2 and they're smart and surround my fish so one or the other gets them. Also I've been testing my turtles. They seem to avoid the moss, think they're afraid of being tangled up the minnows I put in are hiding in it and have survived a week, which is a first. That will provide selter for your fish.

My turtles never get bothered even if I do 75% water changes, but your fish might be having a tough time. Is your tank completely cycled?

Nemo likes to try to chase the fish, but then he loses interest really quickly. Ghost shrimp seem to not be as fast, and he's gotten one since I moved him. I think I'll add in more ghost shrimp too.

It probably isn't, since I have just barely had it a few days now. But the ammonia and the other one that you have to wait thirty seconds to read the testing on it, were zero. I did scrub the brown algae off of the glass, but it seems to have came back now. I noticed when I checked my filter, it had the same brown gunk in it, which I then cleaned out with hot water, and started it back up again. Do you think it could've actually been growing in the filter? and then thorugh the outtake it got into my tank?

I did about a 15% water change to get some debri off the bottom, since I read that that could cause the sudden algae. The fish seemed to have calmed down and are swimming in the middle again, they were at the top.

I'm ordering the lights for the plants tomorrow afternoon, and the second bulb for his basking area.

I was wondering if the commercial algae remover liquid would be safe?
I'm guessing it wouldn't because of Nemo, but it can't hurt to ask.
It says it "Won't harm aquatic fish or plants" and that it "treats a variety of different algae"


Also, the lightning I originally planned to get, the price just jumped from 12 dollars to 21 dollars, so I had to find a new one, and I found this

The 'brown gunk' is most likely to be the beneficial bacteria growing on your filter..

You can get a circulation pump and place it at one corner of your tank, it provides more water movement and it might solve the algae growth problem

[BabyNemo]

Okay, I'll look into that. Would adding a air stone help to make the water move more?
It's like, I have the filter at one end, so the water on the other side isn't getting moved at all, and that's where the algae is worst at. I tried moving the output to where it would cause more of a current, but the tubing won't reach far enough and then I have still water behind the output..
Blah.

Dont you have the HOB filter from your 10G? just mount that on the other side.

I tried to, but the lip on the tankis too thick for filter to fit on. I don't want to alter the lip of the tank since that's where the ATBA will be sitting

[TurtlesOwner97]

Yes you can! I use air stones too

[BabyNemo]

Yes you can! I use air stones too

Okay, thank you!
I will purchase one with my next paycheck .
I had planned to get one initially, but ran out of money.

[n3hihz]

I rather have a sponge filter, but air stones work too.

Won't the turtles attempt to take a chunk off the sponge?

[n3hihz]

My turtles haven't bite the sponges, but they have an obsession of attacking suction cups. Of course, you're probably right about the biting.
