[TurtleGirl1985]

Hey guys I finally was able to make my filter work in the pond so now its all set up now all i need is a pond size turtle to go in it and some fish. What do you guys think?

[TurtleGirl1985]

Got a pond sized turtle and 5 big goldfish for the pond today. We named the turtle Freddy or Fk. cause of the nails looks like freddy krugar. Let me know what u guys think of him and the pond.

Looks good. Has she been out during this time of the year before?

[TurtleGirl1985]

Freddy is a male. No but i have a heater in the pond. Plus we havent been getting fall weather like we should its been 85 during the the day and 65 at night. Does Freddy look healthy?

[steve]

I think he looks good.

There is nothing really blocking predators from reaching him.

ya were going to put a fence around it this weekend

How big is this pond? And what kind of goldfish did you get? Goldfish are really messy! Also, don't forget about large birds - predators can come from the top too.

And racoons! They seem to be able to get through anything!

the pond is 50 gallons we just got some feeder fish

Cool, yeah, that's a better idea than goldfish. Have you fenced it in yet? Do you have pictures?

[Touche the Turtle]

I can't tell from the pictures- is there a basking area where Freddy can get out and bask?

[TurtleGirl1985]

ya he climbs up on the brick and hes able to get out of water and bask
