thinking about getting a turtle, and laid it in my tank, I filter 250-260 liters Fluval 206 and two air pumps and the background that looks real, but I have so much gravel, I have four piranhas in it, that is about 6 – 7 inch fish to eat that are bigger than they are, do you think I can get a turtle in my tank? if so, can you tell me what type of turtle that I can buy, how many, what size they are, what they eat, and requirements, and if I can order them in the nearest pet shop. Plz reply.

@ Donius22 LOL Good luck, I remember trying to catch one as a child. Mine is very good with your eyes if you see me immediately stops or goes down. You can also take at least 2 or so, I feel bad with me from others in the pet store, so I will probably buy another soon.

Apparently, yes. Normal bulb emits no UV rays or something. I had a slider 4 days or less, and I should get one, I only have heat lamps at the moment and the sun does not appear at all.

@ Bobdudle123211bobdudle, you can consider the temperature of the water and air temperature, but sometimes you need a temperature difference to attract turtles to escape. Keep it warm a little bit of water inside. As for the food, your turtle mostly unable to supply of water (in the case of red-eared slider), which means bringing food from the water, probably did not help.

I have created over a giant pot area through the window of the old birds’ nests. I have been made homeless, providing a place for light to be mounted and Teresa ramp into the water turtles can climb and descend into the water. My only problem is that my turtle has to use even a path in the network. He spends all his time in the water, and never take Sun Ive put the bread in the field and on the ramp to lure out, but does not work. can someone please help me with this

Thank you. Well, I have two red-eared slider turtles, I see some peeling skin, and I still use a red light for them. I’m not sure that’s great for their shells, or for them, because I see a bare shell. . Ive used within two months.

Turtles can get bone loss and want your skin can become very soft, if you’re not alone. . . I do not at this time, because they are very Exspensive but if you do not have time to take your turtle hand, where the backyard or front of the house and let him or her to run for 15-20 minutes a day to be healthy, if You do not have one you can see pealling tank when not enough water in it or the lights of the UNV. . employment, as well as turtles enjoyit shoyuld
