The old basking dock The new way. Swimming, diving and sauna. Top view

neat! how big is your tank? im surprised those goldfish haven't been eaten yet!

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.

wow lol those "feeder fish" have sure grown that tank looks nice how big are the turts?

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

Nice one! It even has a diving board!

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

Why, Thank You! Sharing is what it's all about!

beautiful turt!!! what kind is he/she? painted? on the one side, it is possible for it to climb out? or is that just the way the pic looks?

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.

awwwwwwe cute!!! I like the "teeth" hehe

Cool! Those are some big goldfish o.o
The way you've done your basking area is very cool! Nice turts

That turtle looks like a vampire.

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

What a beautiful eastern painted! A very unusual beak...

i love that basking area... and the clear plexyglass!! very nice setup!
