oh dear, what have I done wrong?

[Hoooneylynn]

I will try to fix that for you hold on




It was only that one pic right? Nice tank! You should really fill up it, almost to the top, but not to where they could climb out. They would love more water to swim!!

[Turtlegrandma]

nope, there's 5, but I think I figured out what I did wrong...

Anyway, I think I posted the same one twice, and missed a couple, but this is the boys.
I have since added a floating dock and raised the water quite a bit. Now the rock is underwater, but they can stand on it and go under to hide.

Your turtles are precious! They're loaded with personality! Nice setup. How big is that tank? Looks huge.

You might put some river rocks on the bottom of that tank. The turtles like to push them around and "flutter" at them and they add a little interest.

How stable is that tower? It's stacks of rocks with a bridge stacked on top of them, right? As long as it's all underwater now anyway, you might move the stacked rocks out from under the bridge so the whole thing doesn't collapse on the turtles.

Hey....then the stacked rocks could be put around on the bottom of the tank instead of river rocks!

your turts look pretty happy. what may make them happier is adding some more water to that tank. let them swim!

Is there by any chance a filter or some sort in there?

I think in the front corner you can see one, but its tough to see with the reflections in the glass

[Pizza]

I see, well not literally, but yep .

[industrial_girl_2000]

Wow, they look great!!! Nice job!

[Turtlegrandma]

Thanks you guys! Yes, I have double the water in the tank, the "tower" is now on the bottom (they kept knocking it over!) and the rocks are around the bottom. The filter is a fluvalfourplus in the front left corner.

I appreciate the feedback. Will get some plants eventually.

I wonderer : do they look fat?

I wonderer : do they look fat?

Not in my opinion ( I actually thought they looked great), obese turtles usually have trouble getting limbs and necks into their shells. If you do a search you may be able to come up with images of overweight turtles. How much are you feeding them? So long as you feed them properly they shouldn't have any weight issues.
