Yes Tina came with a tank and food, a regular light bulb, and a toothbrush. The tank was a 20 gallon long. We are a bit short on funds this week, so hadn't planned on buying a lot right away. However we went to look for a screen top and found a tank on sale for a dollar a gallon, so we did buy a 40 gallon breeder tank. Also we had purchased a basking bulb for one of our cleaning clients so we used that. When we moved the bulb to the new tank it burnt out, so we drove into town and purchased a new basking bulb, a heater and a thermometer. We have been reading and watching videos, so we did feed her a few pieces of leaf lettuce yesterday and are feeding her the pellets every other day. We are concerned about her shell. She has both green algae and shell rot[white spots]. From what we read it sounds like she was given too much protein. Being vegan ourselves we had to chuckle about that. I am trying to research how to treat her ourselves. She seems to like her new digs though. My boyfriend used to manage a specialized tropical fish store in the 80's ,so luckily he understands about filtration etc. She has filtered clean water and she did come with a filter although he says we need to switch to a better one. Happy if you can advise.
