Oh, well yes then. 3-4 fish should be fine. Just don't get attached to them :wink:

Did they poop?

I wasn't home most of today but they'll probably poop pretty soon, or tomorrow.

If they did then no more worries

The only fish that last for more than 2 minutes in my tank are Rosies. They get picked off slowly, but a dozen will last 3-4 months. 12 Ghost shrimp last about 2 weeks, and I have had a few snails since April. The poor things have chunks of shell missing though, and I learned that size doesn't seem to dampen their appetite for escargot.

My guppies have been alive for a few months now. I returned the striped catfish since they started to nibble at it..and that fish has big bones.

They're quite vicious. I should start getting ghost shrimp, mmm.

It really depends on the personality of your turtle
Some turtles wont see an interest and they might pick at it if theyre bored
Some go crazy and they have to eat them
Some try and they give up (My turtle)

I bought some fish for Mikey as a Christmas present and most of them are still here, plus they're babies :roll:

Mikey will eat some of the new additions, then he'll just stop.

Ya thats how Tito was
He ate a fish in the first day
Chases his butt off in the second
Then ignored in the third

Now he lets them suck on his shell 0.O

Serra never ate a live fish before,

although this tiny yellow one died 2 weeks ago and she must have ate it, thinking it was a piece of fruit.
