Habitat - Indoor :: Tank mates?

I know it was a joke

[Caphits]

Then you should have put your smiley on your joke.

Well, Rubicon, I understood it was joke right away. No reason for people to make it a big deal.

I suppose thats the problem with written words, instead of spoken. No emotion

I yelled at Tank yesterday because she made a gigantor mess in her tank (and I had just woken up). Then I put a snail in with her to clean up her discarded food bits and she took two bites at his shell. So I told her to leave The Janitor alone, and so far she has listened. I think that's only because she can't figure out how to eat him...

But yeah, little minnows and snails are quite convenient little cleaners and they provide food as well. I usually stock up on minnows, anachris, and snails if I know I am going out of town for a few days, so that way she has food to eat.

Oh, but if you want a cool fish... get a separate aquarium. I'd highly reccommend a Black Moor. They're ridiculous looking and precious. Oh, and they give kisses if you put your finger in the water. All they need is a 10 gallon and a filter that makes bubbles (they can't breathe without some kind of bubbler, but the filter works fine). And they eat goldfish food.

[Hatchling71]

Yeah they're cute but if and when I get fish I'll probably get a saltwater aquarium.

[queenjane]

That would be TIGHT. If you do get one, post pics!

The fish could be fine forever. Or they could disappear overnight. I know that size and tenure don't really matter to the turtles. As long as you aren't really attached to the other critters in the tank, as they could be eaten without warning.
I am guessing that your turtles are hatchlings actorial? They do develop improved hunting skills with age as well. My hatchling ate a minnow that was longer than her at 6 months. People don't keep even large Koi with turtles because they will eat them piece by piece. I purchased golf ball sized apple snails in the hope they would last, but Spike got them open.
I am not wishing ill upon the fishy pets, but please don't be lulled into a sense of security by the size of the fish, or the idea that the turtles will give up after a given amount of time.

both emil and gmil are 2.3inches in size. they are really aggressive type and they do chase after them everyday without fail. but i have plants, little cave for the fishes to hide and they are really fine. oh yah, once the gourami tail for bite off but had grew back now. i believe is the type of fishes u choose and how capable are them in hiding and running from predators. hmm..that's my thinking though.

[Hatchling71]

haha that sentence makes no sense, actorial

"once the gourami tail for bite off but had grew back now."

[actorial]

oops...sorry...that was a terrible typo...lol!!

i mean the gourami tail was bited off, but had recovered from the injury now tail do grew back. yah..so he is fine now swimming "happily" with turtles lol!

[actorial]
