Feeding and Nutrition :: What fish?

[Take-One]

What kind of fish are best for your turtle?

[blackforce247]

well i dont feed my turtles fish. but guppies seem to catch their attention really. ive seen it munch on some but as you should know fish are pretty fatty and not much on protein really. if i wore to feed it fish i would give it guppies

Rosy reds are good feeder fish. They aren't very fatty and are cheap.

You don't want to feed goldfish because they are too fatty. You want to avoid most tropical fish like catfish and loaches because they have sharp barbs that can hurt a turtle. I'd also avoid plecos because they have pretty hard bodies.

are guppys okay?

[megcornell]

Guppies are pretty expensive for feeder fish. I don't think there's anything wrong with them though.

Guppies and Rosey reds are great feeders for turtles.

Feeder guppies are $.10 a fish here with Rosey Reds being $.11-.12 a fish.

Guppies and minnows are supposed to be fine for them.
