I bought two 25 cent guppies from the pet store yesterday, and my turtle was going CRAZY after them! I think he finally got one, I'm not sure, but the other one is still there. How many should I give him at a time? He is about 1.4 -1.5 inches long. and how often should I give them to him? It's the happest I have ever seen him! He was having alot of fun chasing those fish around

I acctually filmed him swimming around with the fish. Don't mind me or my brother talking. lol. And the camera I used was really bad, so the water kinda looks cloudy, but it really isn't

Thanks for any comments

I may give feeder fish once a month, if that. Also, when you buy them, look closely at the tank they are kept in. If it looks overcrowded or dirty, I'd pass on them, and look somewhere else.

Some of the pet store fish will be infested with parasites or diseased. We all know how when we were 6 and brough that goldfish home and it died in 3 days...

Try feeding fish that are low if fat....Rosy reds are good. Stay away from goldfish, i'm not sure about guppies, they're probably pretty bony..

awesome thanks everyone.


anddd RESowner34, yea they do look bony, but I read on the feeding page that they were okay to eat. lol

how many should I give my baby a month?

I'd only put in a few.. half a dozen at the most.

Here's a link with info on feeder fish. If you haven't checked out the rest of the Nutrition section yet, you should take a look.
