this is my ten gallon set up. im hoping to get a 55 gallon at the end of this week. oh the white thing at the bottom is a spoon. i bent a plastic spoon to feed pellets to the turtles because one turtle would eat all the pellets and leave the other none if i threw them in.

Image

oh this is rocky trying to hunt down its prey.

Image

this is pocky climbing up onto the basking rock.

Image

resting on the rock

Image

and this is penny pincher, a crab that i hope would eat poo on the floor. :D

Umm for the record..have fun with the crab. I used to have a crab in my fish tank as a kid..yeah the crab got out....it's real fun trying to find a crab....

and it could kill your turtle in all seriousness. I was watching a turtle documentary last night on PBS and crabs eat turtles. Especially baby turtles. Soooo you might want to rethink that crab. Especially for the safety of your turtles.

You may want to rethink your crab in the tank...he's huge and can injure and/or kill your turtle. Maybe when turtle gets a bit bigger.....

That's a very nice picture and the others too, but for the safety of all the inhabitants in your tank, I would remove the crab.

oh i just read that golden claw fiddler crab, the one in the picture are scaried of turtles and are usually eaten by turtles. so now that i think about it, im not worried leaving him alone with the turtles.

yeah but if your turtle get any ideas... and trust me.... the will... and they attack him he might grab one around the neck in defense and might seriously injure or kill your turtle.
