Other Turtle Discussion :: Messy piglet, aka. Mr. Turtle.....

As I posted before I got Mr. Turtle 2 anacharis plants on Tuesday night. It's now Saturday morning and both plants are long gone! Well, there is a little nub of one stalk left

Now I have to clean the tank again today even though I just did Tuesday, due to the green water from the plant and the pieces of anacharis clogging the intake of the filter

Next time he gets one plant at a time! I'm also going to look at a more leafy plant rather than the bushy type of the anacharis.

How is doing with other veggies?

He ate the same amount of his other veggies as he did before during this time.

LOL, Tissigirl!!! That's awesome that he is eating the anacharis.

Devouring is more like it!

I'm going to wait a bit until I get him some more. Ever since I got it for him the tank has been a bright green color, and less than a week after I cleaned it it was right back to green again. (I was out of town for 4 days and when I got back it was bad) I think maybe some is stuck in the intake of the filter or something. That's the only thing I can think of because I never had this problem until the anacharis came along. When I can finally afford a bigger filter i'm hoping that will help and I can get it for him more often.
