Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2006 9:47 pmFish contribute to the waste and we all know that turtles produce a lot of waste themselves. If you add more fish, the you need to do more frequent water changes and filer cleanings.
Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2006 10:05 pmthis happened to me too. there were 2 fish in there that he didnt touch for 2 months... i think they became friends lol. i went and bought 5 more fish and he ate them all that night
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 7:28 amFunny, just this morning I noticed a missing fish.
Seems one of the turts ate a small female guppy - there are no remains.
Still have three feeder minnows, a pleco, 1M and 1F guppy

Well, I hope not, but I guess it could happen.
They nipped at him a few times when they were first intruduced, but then he sucked onto one of their shells and rode around - this really freaked the turts out and now they leave him alone.
