Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

Post Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2010 10:59 am   curious and a question

so ive looked at my LPS and they dont carry minnows or rosy reds. idk where i can get any. i live in Lancaster PA if that helps anyone. where do u get urs?

and i know all fish put in with a turtle run the risk of becoming turtle food but i was wondering if there are any other cheap fish that look good in the tank. u know, add some colour and what not. and i have some feeder guppies in the tank now, i think 6 or 7 but they r small and dont look that great so they r kinda boring. suggestions? ideas? help?

Once you get away from feeders fish prices jump alot. Nothing really cheap besides the feeders.

You dont have a petco or petsmart, other big named petstores? They should all carry feeder fish. Im really surprised your LPS doesnt have any. Never have I seen any petstore without some O.o
