Except for the fact that the space will be too small, it would be great to have something like that if a nesting site is ever an issue!

what kind of frongs or other things can i add that my res won't eat

[missibsu]

Nothing...anything you put in the tank is likely to becomes food. If you are going to put anything in the tank, I would recommend putting in feeder fish. They are fun to watch, but it doesn't hurt if they get eaten.

how about a box turtle on my useless dry lands

[missibsu]

On another post I just gave my opinion on what you need to do with that dry area that you have. Since you bought a turtle dock, I would take it out. I would not mix species and place a box turtle in the same tank as an RES, they have completely different care requirements.

If you add [img]before%20your%20picture%20and[/img] after, people wouldn't have to click on the link.

You don't want to have two vastly different species of turtle (a land turtle and an aquatic) in the same set-up...

The space in the pic looks small, but if your turtle is 5 inches in length and the tank is a 75-gallon one, it sounds OK for now. The pic is dark and difficult to see, but it looks like there's a lot in that tank. If there is, removing some object would give your turtle more room (and you need to take out that land area).

i have had my res for about a year and a half now and when we first got him we also bought a placostomus (< not how its spelled) fish to help keep the tank clean the fish and the turtle were about the same size when we got them and the turtle never bothered the fish and now the fish is bigger than the turtle lol i have also heard that snails help keep the turtle tank clean but im no expert

my turts tried to eat my pleco, so he was removed. It's never safe.

the only bad thing about snails...they multiply really fast....i dunno,you might could scrape the eggs off the side of the tank,i'm not sure how that works....we've got big plecos and a couple oscars,but that's just for now while the turtles are smaller

Actually snails add to the waste load in the tank quite a bit. The only thing that I've seen they are good for is eating the bits of lettuce that floats around the top of the tank after Koopa is through devouring his part. And I'm not sure it's worth it for the mess they add to the tank on their own.

If you want snails that dont mulitply fast try the mystery snails i have some in my fish tank and they havent reproduce in a long while.
