General Care Discussion :: perhaps the end is near...

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2008 8:46 pm   perhaps the end is near...

I mentioned in another post that I have a couple of mollies in with my 2" res. One molly has been really aggressive with him taking his pellets and even nipping at him to get away from the food. She (the fish) does this even if I feed the mollies first, change their food, etc.. Well this morning the same ole thing I fed the fish - then with Tuck begging put some pellets in the tank. The molly started harassing him and... wow he chased her off nipping at her all the way. He didnt try to eat her - just was threatening. He finally grown a backbone!

Oh the days of wine and roses are over - I have a feeling we'll lose a molly soon. Cant say I will be upset if he takes this one down. She has a very nasty little fish personality! :)

my turtle used to eat 4 dozens in 2 weeks, but last time I bought 36 for her, she ate 30 of them, leaving the last 6 alone. These 6 are lucky guys, they have been living happily with my turtle sharing food for quite a few month, and are growing so big and fat.... My turtle seems to have made friends with them........
