Feeding and Nutrition :: TUffies? Ever heard of this type of feeder fish?

[cooleststan]

I bought 4 of them from petco today, threw 2 big ones into the tank, they got eaten immediately. I was kind of hoping that they would be too big for them to eat, so they would clean up all of the turtles poop, but my turtels just bit their fins off and ate their faces

anyways, is it okay for them to eat tuffies? never heard of anyone on this board feeding their turtles tuffies.

Never heard of tuffies, but could you post a picture of the other 2??

I think they're the same thing as Rosy Reds Minnows? Or they're really similar 'cause I've seen "tuffies" being sold as feeders at one pet store and the rosy reds at another and they both looked a lot alike.

they are pinkish or silver minnows...they are safe to be used as feeders for turts
