Been a few months since Snot (YBS Female I am assuming) and Boogies (RES obviously a boy) have checked in. Here is a pretty recent photo of them both caught in the act of Ghost Shrimp hunting. (They still fail to catch any to this day)
Boogie's shell is a little bumpy from his early few months when I wasn't sure how to take care of turtles yet. Best thing about it is it hasn't got any worse, just kinda stayed the same. Hopefully I can get him to shed with some time in the kiddy pool outside and some blueberry treats once a week. Other than that, they are strong and healthy. Oh and Snot is kinda mean sometimes. Tries to bite me but when I put my finger near her face to let her (I know I'm weird) she stops trying to. Has yet to nail me.

Both are around or a little over 3 inches. Haven't grown too much lately. I feed them pellets on Sat and Wed and various greens day to day. Boogies is a sweet heart though. I put my hand in the water and he'll swim up and put his front feet on my hand like hes ready to go eat. lol Anyways, that's it for now.

They look great. A lot of us have been adding in some Koi pellets (wheat germ based) to help encourage shedding.

Never seen the Koi Pellets in the store, are they only available online?

I know you can find them as farm supply stores like Tractor Supply.

Haha, well I live in Pinellas Park FL, I can't think of any Tractor Supply places or farm supply places near me. Maybe an hour drive outside of Tampa. LOL

I know petland has them in store, so most others stores should have them too.

I remember reading about the Koi pellets a while back and I checked my local pet stores, like 4 of them and couldn't find it. Is there a particular brand name for them? They seem to really enjoy the blue berries, so far I've only fed them one twice this past 5 or so days. Is there any suggestions on how many I can safely feed them and how often?

I love their names!
