That's a lot better! He's such a tiny little guy...or girl. Mine were chasing guppies this morning. It's so funny. It reminds me of watching sharks on the discovery channel.

Funny you should say that......I am forever calling Sam "her" in one post, then "him" in another.......I don't know the sex yet and with a name like Sam, it could go either way !!

Yeah, I didn't think ahead. Mine were Penelope and Pheobe before I found out that I couldn't tell the gender under 4 inches. The pet guy told me they were both females. Anyway, Pheobe is now Peter...and it just doesn't sound right, lol.

very cool....i put a feeder gold fish in with my res today......he gave chase for about 25 mins....but they seem to be getting along now !!!!

Of the kinds of fish you can put with your turtle goldfish are at the bottom. They are fatty and have no nutritional value. They can also carry parasites. It's best to stick with feeder guppies and rosy red minnows.

guppies they treat just as bad as goldfish if you can throw a minnow trap in a local pond with some bait in the middle thats a good way of getting fish

I am going to catch some minnow from the creek

I don't know how well the tiny fish will work with the filter though...

[jridge]

I got my rosey red minnows at PetSmart for .12 cents a piece......I can deal with that.....8 for around a buck.....

if you want clean healthy guppies put them in a small tank like a 5gal kit and medicate them and they will breed this way you can also control what they eat

Mine chased the Minnow around for an hour, then stopped, then the next morning it was gone, so i figured they ate it cause i havn't seen it for a few days.

I breed my own guppies and it is easy enough to do. A 30 gallon tank, and a dozen guppies that I watched for any signs of illness. I've never had any problems.
