The 1st picture was taken about a year ago and you can see how small the "feeder" fish were then. The 2nd picture shows how much they've grown. Tank is 30 gallons.

And all they eat are turtle leftovers. :) Turtles are 5" and 4".

I was very impressed by your professionally built and step by step illustrated post, so I decided to build an above tank basking spot.

The larger is a female eastern painted and the other is a northern redbelly. There is a plexiglass window in front. It's so clear it's almost invisible. Image

That turtle looks like a vampire.

By the way I suppose you already know that you need a much larger tank by now?
