I've updated my turt's tank and I think he's much happier. :D

He really seems to enjoy kicking up the sand, I'm glad I got rid of the stone. I also upgraded the filter from a Exo-terra cliff filter (what a piece of junk) to a Fluval 405 (woohoo!)

The third upgrade I added was a larger basking area, I definitely notice him basking more often. I would like to add some tank mates, but he can eat three rosy minnows in a matter of minutes, I doubt any fish would survive his appetite.

Now we're working on feeding outside the tank, but he's still very skiddish. :mrgreen:

Looks great. I have a Fluval 405 and I love it :)

Why are you feeding outside the tank? 'Cause of the mess?

Yep, the jello shots are very messy as they unfreeze and he tears them apart.

pretty much all feeders geat eaten right away. pretty much all the fish ive bought that werent feeders last at leats twice as long as feeders. in my opinion feeders are not as well bred and just arent as smart so they get picked off really easily. also i let the fish get associated with the tank without the turtle in the tank that way they arent off gaurd and have an idea of where they cna be
