So long story short. I ended up having to put five feeder fish into my hatchlings tank. When I got home today there were two still alive and one being eaten. WHAT SHOULD I DO. I read that it would be fine and that the fish would probably be too fast for her to catch. That was not the case. Apparently these fish were extra slow and dumb... I am so worried. Help me!

Maybe the filter ate them. No?

Anything you put in the tank will likely be food. Give them some hiding spaces to help them out.

Isn't the point of having feeder fish for the turtles to feed on?

Did you not want the turtle to eat them or are you worried your turtle ate too many?

I was worried that she ate to many since she is so small but she seems to be doing fine. and there is still one fish that has survived so she isnt over eating...

I had the same concern when I moved my turts and minnows to a smaller tank while I scrubbed down the main tank. There were 6 minnows in that smaller tank and there were none when I went to move them all back to the main tank.
