You should try to find a way to fill that tank up more to give him more room to swim, given the room they love to swim around. Maybe a few feeder fish for him to chase around too!

They love love love to swim, you can fill it at least another several inches, just as long as you have an area to bask on.

i added about another 2 gallons of water and i put him on the back porch(screened in) for the day when i was at work i came home and hes just swimmin around the tank. hes been really active today. im going to get the filter system for him in about an hour. and the guppies

Make sure the tank is not in direct sunlight... in fact, I wouldn't move the tank at all.

[evilsr20degg]

he wasnt in direct sun and is still kickin the tanks isnt being moved anymore now that i got a filter system for him

How big is that aquarium?

[evilsr20degg]

the rear measures to 1.85 feet long .85 wide and a little over a foot deep i believe its a 10 gallon tank

im buying a new tank pretty soon though, been going to petsmart lookin at thier tanks and i like the corner tank with stand they have thier its big and really nice looking.

Such a green turtle, pretty cool. I'd be careful with the corner tanks, I've seen a few and they don't have very big of a size selection. The one's in my petstores aren't that big and with upgrading later on, you might just save money and go with a big/longer tank if possible. Unless, of course they have the nice big ones, thought I haven't seen those near my location.

im not going to get the tank unless its at least 90 gallons. i wouldnt want to spend the 500 on the stand and tank to have to spend it again later.

im at least going to keep my 10 gallon one and fill it with feeders.

plastic rubbermaid containers make great temporary tanks! very cheap... not the most attractive setup, but works as well if not better that other setups.

[TexasJagsFan]

Where can you buy those steve?

[steve]

everywhere! those are the semi-clear storage container that come with a lid also... i used to use a clear one that was 40 gallons. they have bigger ones, but just remember never to put too much water since they were not designed to hold water and can easily bow out

[TexasJagsFan]

Hmm I've never seen any of these at like pet stores, or walmarts. Maybe I should look harder.

[steve]

you wont see it at a petstore, but target, kmart, walmart will have those
