Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

UPDATE: I now have SEVEN little baby guppies swimming around my tank. Found two more this morning when I went in the kitchen......yeesh!

Also, I am getting better at catching these little buggers. I found I am much more successful at getting them with my bare hands than just with a net.....usually just corner them and pin them gently up against the wall. Or hold the net with one hand, and chase with the other hand till one swims into the net. After successfully catching 2 guppies last night, I threw an one in Sheba's tank & the other guppy in Prog the aquatic frog's tank last night. This morning, the one in Prog's tank was GONE (he's just SO good at getting them!). The one in Sheba's tank is still swimming around......for now. I think she hasn't seen it yet. ;)

Ok, so I still have 10 baby guppies in Siobhan's tank as of today.

BUT, the guppy I put in with Sheba apparently gave birth sometime yesterday & now there is a teeny tiny baby guppy swimming around in Sheba's big tank now too (!). The good news is that I think Sheba ate the "mom" since I couldn't find the fish I originally threw in with her. :roll:
