Other Turtle Discussion :: Bickering

[Rafa2k]

lol, my two girls have been dancing around each other a lot lately. I love to just sit there and watch them swim around but they're really starting to crack me up with this.

Here's a very short clip of them "bickering" as I didn't know how much of a vid would work on here.



I love how Kinao slaps Goldie in the face and then swims away like "pfft, please..."

They're not hurting each other, are they? Hopefully the aggression stays silly and not serious.

[Rafa2k]

No they're not hurting each other but Goldie looks like she's trying to mount Kinao. They swim around each other all the time, nothing serious.

Cute turtles... how big are they now?

[Rafa2k]

Thanks Steve. Goldie is 4" and Kinao is 3.75". They're currently in the 90g tank I re-did but I'm already getting the materials to build their 500g tank I drew up. The only thing I'm debating on right now is whether to do a metal stand (which I don't like metal) or wooden stand (which would require some serious reinforcement). Either way, it's pretty exciting

[steve]

Sounds like a great project! My brother made my stand out of tube steel... it's incredibly sturdy. Perhaps a local steel smith can make a simple stand for you.

cleaned out and re-did the 90g tank this weekend...well over the last week but I finished this weekend.

Forgot to post the part I'm most happy about, my new fluidized bed filter:
