Now
Image

Image
I went fishing for turtles!


Image
Got one!


Image
Its Agamemnon! 5.5"!



Image
Next its Kingler's turn!


Image
She's only about 8"

Image
I could feel at least two more eggs. I hope she lays them soon.

Image

Image
Clear pond!

Image
The water is 80 F

Image
KINGLER!

Image
Agamemnon!

Image
Meow!

Image

Image
The two ladies!

Image
The new Filter

Image

Image

Image
The first layer is pre-filter(The rock is to stop the water pressure from ripping through the media)

Image
Carbon

Image
Foam

Image
Bio-balls then more foam.

Image
Last, can anyone identify this worm. I found hundreds in the filter.
1 F RES 9" (Kingler)
1 F Belize Slider 7" (Agamemnon)

Yep those are bloodworms(midge larvae) there nothing to worry about there actually helping to clean the filter. There just eating the waste and helping to break it down.

"Die ruler, die!!! MUHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Such a cool pond.

I think it's awesome someone as young as you, is so into a project like this. A lot better than that drug, gang, theft and other crap teens get dragged into.
