Fortunately I have a lot of things from the other 2 turtles' old tank that i didnt have to buy anything new for them, which after spending a lot on them already was a nice change. So heres the rundown on the kids' new home:
*click on the pictures for a larger version*
Tank: 29 gal.
2 Fluval 2+ filters (yes!)
Tetrafauna heater
Med. ZooMed floating dock
At the bottom of the tank I put a green terrarium mat thats safe for the turtles' if they eat it, and it allows little bits of stuff that the filters don't get to settle down through it so it doesn't muck up the water, I have one in the 75 gal with the big turtles and the water has stayed crystal clear, so if you're wondering what to put on the bottom of your tank, I strongly suggest it.
Here are some pictures of the residents:
I moved Spot in with the babies because he was getting his tail bitten by the big turtles and he was starting to look pretty bad. I found when plecos are under stress, their color fades, when I took Spot out of the big tank, he was a very light brown, almost tan color, but a few days after being in the the babies, his color went back to a dark brown so you could see his spots again! I say hes the turtles' babysitter...
The babies sometimes nip at his tail, so when they get bigger Ill have to get a tropical fish tank (what a shaaaame!
Heres Bruiser (back) and the light turtle whose name is T.B.D. (tho my sister has nicknamed her spazwad because she tends to kinda tear around the tank randomly)
Heres a close-up of Bruiser, I don't like to play favorites, but I love how his head is black and neon-green.

Heres the light turtle
Heres Squirt, he was the smallest of the babies and has only started growing recently, hes a little camera shy.

Thats all for now, I'll be sure to keep you all updated!
