Non-care related topics here.

Post Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 7:08 am   New here....needing some names

I have 3 turtles.....one bigger and two smaller (the two smaller are the same size)

So I was wondering on Nemo, what were the two "main" turtles names.....I believe one was Squirt(I believe this was the smaller one) and what was the bigger ones name?

Or at any rate, do any of you all have suggestions for my 3 names.

I have 3 boy kids.....twins and an older brother....so they think they should be their names....since one is bigger than the "twins" on the turtles....just as in real life.

But I want something cutesy....like I have 2 frogs so we named them Mrs. Piggy and Kermit.

So I am all about cartoon names.....the kids like it too!

Hi, welcome to the forum! I do suggest you remove that gravel ASAP. Your turts can eat it, and if they cannot pass it, they will die. This has recently happened to one of our members. I suggest river rocks, which are too big that they cannot be eaten. Also, how many gallon tank do you have? Are all three turts in the same tank?

I think it is a 22 gallon tank. But it is longer than a normal tank. It is a turtle tank. I think I need more water in mine after reading several post last night. I worried about them drowning cuz I don't have a good basking area if the water goes above the "bridge" I currently have.

But again all this is new to me....so I need help.
