That tank isn't even big enough for 1 turtle...I have 2 red ear sliders in a 300 gallon stock tank...:( & Gravel? Do you know turtles can swallow gravel....& as for a filter,man,you need the greatest filter ever just for 1 turtle...there's sadly a lot of changes that have to be made,& when you...

I really don't understand why people think turtles can do well in small tanks anyway.45g is small for a turtle,20g even smaller. I have 2 red ear slider turtles,they have a 300 gallon stock tank,as in what is used on farms.Not as flattering,but i'm eventually going to have it so that the tank is...

Goldfish are cold water fish.But 4 degrees sounds pretty freezing. They'd do better @ room temperature I'd assume...or slightly less.Too warm could lead to fungal infections. & too cold could lead to freezing solid if your pond happens to freeze solid.60-62 degrees F maybe? Either way you could...

Hehe...silly tarantula :D

Oh so cute fishies!! <3 Congrats on winning! Do you know if that site ships to Canada? :good:

I have a female in with 2 platys& 2 corydoras. I had guppies beforehand,they since died off though. Wasn't the bettas fault.Natural causes. So yes it is possible.Don't go for too flowy tails if you can help it or too brightly colored (although mine were & the betta couldnt care less). So,it's...

I had them that only lasted a day or two...or a week, & I also had luck with keeping them for quite awhile. They were a hit or miss with me. :unsure:

The filter that came with that tank looks similar to a "Whisper" filter I had bought that caused a lot of trouble with a betta& adf's. The fins of the betta got caught where the water was being sucked in& my adf got its leg stuck in it.I now use AquaClear...you can turn down the current,which is...

Remember small rocks& gravel can be ingested...it's recommended that you use flat smooth river rocks with turtles.Sharp edges can also irritate their shell. Also keep in mind that the waste isnt always visible.So you won't be seeing a lot. :good:

Why do so many people think that myth about bettas in true? They don't live in a small space all of their life...bettas can survive in puddles in the dry season, but live and breed in slow-moving streams and rice paddies which are huge! I been seeing that mentioned quite a few times in a couple...

Yeah males do a mating dance!! hehe But yours look too small for that. I'm glad they are getting natural light. They can get horrid problems without a light source... & Since you live in Florida,maybe their water is warm enough.. so you might not need a heater as I do. I live in Newfoundland...

What kind of filtration are you using? I think when I get an indoor pond i'll just get greater filtration& do partial changes. You know if you feed your turtles in a seperate container it'll be less mess in their tank. Thats what I used to do when mine were smaller. I would put water in a...

:unsure: I'm so sorry :(

Thanks!! I was considering saving up for compact lighting in the near future. It's sold on "Drs Foster& Smith" www.drsfosterandsmith.com

I know a couple people who actually have turtles& parrots in their will!! hehehe!! :good:

Heheh!! I have over 100 crickets in my room at the moment that is a food for some of my other pets ;)

Standing on top of each other sounds just like they are trying to bask together under the basking light you provoded for them (right....? ). Turtles bask together. It's a great thing to see in the wild. Your tank is wayyyy too small,but you know that& is fixing that problem. You do know you...

Great,my computer is acting weird again. Man do I dislike my computer Looks like you been given Red Ear Slider turtles. Now here's for the Uh-Oh. I have 2 of them. I really hope you can spend money in an exceptional filter,your going to need it...hehe. Lets see,mine are almost adult,hard to...

I agree. BTW (by the way) I love your signature fishboy619 :) I agree.I would upgrade..then maybe get a betta& snail for the 5 gallon. :good:

Thank you =D Bettas are one of my faves!! :wub:

I also want to add,I'm glad you mentioned cycling. It's really cruel to add fish to an un-cycled tank :good: I love this forum already.I was on a couple other forums in the past& they had awful info& told people that in 10gallons you could have like 25 fish etc.That was insane! :blink:

Thanks guys!! :) Yeah my aquarium is cycled,my only problem was the lighting :( I use Bio-Spira...which is to be placed in the filter..because if you put it just in the water,you'll have to still wait weeks :D (I made that mistake first) My female betta don't really seem to mind the platys at...

5 gallons is really easy to overstock...I stopped trying to fill a 5 gallon aquarium& just turned it into a terrarium for a tarantula. (Chilean rose hair). You are really maxed out if you have 2 of anything in a lot of cases.So if you keep 1 more guppy,I wouldn't get anything else. Keep in...

That is so sad though. 1 goldfish needs 20 gallons :( & A great filter,they are quite messy :( I don't have a fish store near me,only place I may buy fish& supplies is walmart. I quarantine my fish first& make sure I read up on fish before I buy >_<* There is nothing that can humanely live in...

Hmm,I read some threads...lighting was mentioned. I can up my wattage I guess until I can purchase one of those more expensive fixtures that has great lighting on every angle.... I think I may have a "reflector" if thats what that glass is right under the light... :good:

Hi ^-^; My name is Melissa,i'm 22...from Newfoundland& I just recently joined the forum. vegetarian& love all animals (also fishies!!) The pets I have are: 2 dogs (Baby Dusty.."Dusty" & Reo Patriot... "Reo") 1 budgie (Petey),1 cockatiel (Madeline..yes they live seperate),2 red ear slider...

I bought a 20 gallon aquarium awhile back..& the lighting is horrible. Starting to lose plants now. Light only aims at plants in the middle. I want a light that will aim at the plants in the front& back too. What kind of hood should I purchase? What lights? Sorry,I'm sort of new to planted...
