General Care Discussion :: Funny but, not :)

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I put my res in a new tank and added a background. Well for the last week she has been going back and fourth. Even nipping at the fake leaves. Should I get rid of it? I'm feeling pretty bad cause she really wants to get past the glass and go into the forrrest :)

Lol, I think she'll get used to it eventually. As long as she's not harming herself in any way, it'll keep her entertained for a while at least ;)

I also have another tank close by with a much smaller turtle in it and they keep trying to go towards each other.
