Sam (loves the camera!):





Tank pictures:



^ I also have Rosey Reds in there, too.

I wish mine were still that green. They are cute thanks for sharing!

No problem. I like them when they get dark, too. I've photo-oped some, so it makes clearer photos, so thats not all their natural color, but they are still a pretty green!

seems lik a nice interior green place lol

Yes, they have lots of plants and lots of fun! Haha

Here is a link to a video of them chasing their Roseys:

hi! i'm new here, i just got a new res last week and i've been roaming around the site the past week to answer my millions of questions and i jus wanted to thank you because you always tend to give very good information that is really helpful to me & others, and the setup of sam & nelly's new home is fantastic! i think the bridge is an excellent idea, i wana get one for my turtle too. i "look up to" ur setup and hope to make mine as nice as urs one day! urs looks like a lot of fun for ur turtles hehe

haha thanks! I used to be the one trying to find everything and the one asking for advice instead of the one who gives it. But we've all been there haven't we? I'm good at fitting things into my budget. See...not all those plants I bought at a store...some I cut out in the back from moms fake plants-shhh! and im a rubbermaid tub person. we'll get a tank when we really need one. lol.
omg squirtle is such a cutie! and has a cute name. i wish i was as creative when naming sam and nelly...haha but the name fits.

do ya'll like my new turtley foos pic??? haha

samandnelly,

You may have solved my inadequate housing issue. I live in Italy, but I am sure I can find a rubbermaid container. What about the other items? WJat type of filter are you using? Did you use suction cups for the thermometer?? Sorry for soooo mnay questions, but with your assistance I believe I can set up a decent place for bright eyes and bob

That's a Nice Setup!! Take a coupel without the grid on top to so we can see the beautiful lush setup.

lol ok i will
fluval 2pluis and i use suction

What kinda plants do you have in there..it looks really nice. I dont have any plants n mine but i want to put some in..Only been a week since i've had my 30 gallon..but i wanna make it nice for my babies. How big is Sam and Nelly? I dont know if i wanna ptu in fake plants because it seems that turtles eat everything!!!!!!

Here are two simple pictures of the tank. The top one is a view of the whole thing..nothing too fancy. The second picture is one I took looking in/down into the tank. That's their pretty log I bought for them. I'll try to get better pics another time. I'm thinking on getting a backdrop or something for the tank so they have something to look at. What do you guys think...suggestions are welcomed.

I'm not sure whether or not your filter can handle this, but I'd fill it up. It will give them plenty of swimming space, and the basking light seems a bit far away. What are you thinking in terms of a basking area? Are you going to build one, or buy one?
