Feeding and Nutrition :: Cuttle bone

[Wildcoyote]

Hi i just bought cuttle bone.
How should i put it in my tank?
Should i leave it floating in the water?
The whole cuttle bone is bigger than my turtle btw.

First, you should remove the hard backing. It is the side you cannot stick your finger nail in. I clip my cuttlebone to a veggie clip that sticks to the side of the tank because it is much easier to eat that way. If you do that, then I would put maybe a fourth of it in. If you leave it floating, then make a piece the size of a nickel maybe. I strongly reccomend the veggie clip, however.

Ok thanks for the help.

I know this was a long time ago, but thought i'd put my input in, i put in the whole cuttle bone and let it float, Ethel likes to get on top and i've got some cute pics of a turtle on a "surfboard"...wish i could upload them
