Hey guys I'm new here but have come here with a question reguarding the tanks at bass pro shops, I currently work there and I noticed there is alot of coins in the water and I was wondering if that could be bad for the red eared sliders that live in that water?

I don't think the metal will hurt the turtles. HOWEVER, they could very well eat one of the coins (especially dimes or pennies) and the coins could get impacted in their digestive system, which could lead to death. Is there a way you could remove the coins?

BTW - There are other animals that are sensitive to metals in the water, such as aquatic frogs.
