i have 2 baby res one is 2in and the other is 2 1/2 ini feed them freeze dried blood worms and tutle pellets i aslo have some fancy guppies that are bigger then the turtles so that they wouldnt get eaten bt i relized today that the fancy guppie had babys and the turtles have been chasing them i was wondering is it alrite if the turtles eat the baby fancy guppies or should i take them out???
i aslo had put a lilly pad plant in the tank to make it look nicer im not sure wat type it was bt the next day the turtle had alredy eaten the whole plant is that ok for them to do or should i not put anymore lillys is there because i have some other plants but the turtles wont eat them only the lillys

Chasing gives them exercise, and eating gives them nutrients. Lily plants are a part of their vegeterian diet, I'm terribly surprised your babies would eat vegetables at such a young age. The guppies are fine until they get caught, don't get attatched to the fish because one day they're gonna go to fish heaven or, go to a stomach of your turtle...
