The 1st picture was taken about a year ago and you can see how small the "feeder" fish were then. The 2nd picture shows how much they've grown. Tank is 30 gallons.

I was very impressed by your professionally built and step by step illustrated post, so I decided to build an above tank basking spot.

The larger is a female eastern painted and the other is a northern redbelly. There is a plexiglass window in front. It's so clear it's almost invisible. Image

That turtle looks like a vampire.

By the way I suppose you already know that you need a much larger tank by now?
