Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

I have an empty 10 gallon tank and an empty 20 gallon long tank (RIP Gary)... and I'm contemplating a breeding tank for the turtles. I'm not sure if it's possible to breed water plant, or how hard it is to breed rosy red minnows or guppies. Do you think it would be a good idea?

I set up a 10 gal tank to breed guppies about 3 weeks ago. I bought 4 females and 2 males. One female died within days, but the others have already had babies! There is about 10 tiny guppies in there. When the babies get a bit bigger I'll feed the old ones to George.

I'm actually breeding guppies in with my turtles. So far so good. Looks like she's gettin ready to lay her eggs soon.

I'd probably try breeding rosies in the 20gal if I were you. I know my turts don't bother with guppies because they're too small
