    Thanks for watching! I’m super happy with how this tank turned out! Let me know what you guys think, & also let me know what kind of fish we should put in here!⬇️

    • @norasnewfs9290
      @norasnewfs9290 Před 2 lety +3

      Fancy guppies, common guppies or neon and black neon tetras

      Definitely fast fish so they don’t become turtle food. You could do a small school of danios. They swim together, are hardy, and can out swim the turtles.

    Personally I think that some lyretail mollies or some sort of smaller tetra (rummynose?) or maybe even some fancy guppies. Just some extra fast moving color would help the tank pop in my opinion. Nonetheless, you’re on a roll dude. I’m absolutely loving your videos and what you’re doing. You’ve inspired me so much, and are super underrated. Keep it up

    Hi from Scotland! You are my biggest inspiration in the fish-keeping hobby and every day that I see you upload it just instantly makes me feel better! I have got a 90 litre community tank in my room now because of how much you have helped me fall in love with the hobby and it is running amazingly mostly because of your tips in your videos! Thanks for being such a great youtuber and an even better person!

    The new turtle aquarium looks amazing, the turtles look big and it is so much better to see them than when they we in the tub. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next video.

  • @kristykeimig3498
    @kristykeimig3498 Před 2 lety

    also the uva/uvb and heat lamp needs to be between 10 to 12 in away from the turtles shell when they are on the basking dock. your set up turned out so AWESOME. they will love it so much

  • @LegendsAquatics
    @LegendsAquatics Před 2 lety +7

    Second, you should get a shell dweller tank they’re amazing unique cichlids

  • @DracoTheDragon
    @DracoTheDragon Před 2 lety +4

    Honestly I would go with live-neared such as guppies, platies, or mollies. Great set up!

    @GabbyRocio Před 2 lety

    Looks good! I have my baby musk turtle with platys, so they won't be harmful if he eats them. He's in a 40g breeder also. Prime neutralizes ammonia for 48 hours too, so that's why I prefer it over other water conditioners.

  • @jeffelledge91
    @jeffelledge91 Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for your videos Carson! Love watching what you do with your tanks. I used to spend my summers in Belleville when I was a kid, as a Cubs fan, I took a lot of flack!! Lol

  • @kristykeimig3498
    @kristykeimig3498 Před 2 lety +1

    great video. just wanted to add...the uva/uvb bulb helps them to absorb calcium. with out the light they can suffer from metabolic bone disease, and that causes the shell to become deformed and they also wont shed scutes and cause retained scutes but yea there are other reasons.. Also if you can use the lamp stand holder instead of setting the lights on the screen its waaay more beneficial for their health. When you place it on glass or screen it disrupts the amount of rays and then they dont get to absorb as much and makes the light seem super weak. so if you can avoid it, its the best.

    hi, I have had a turtle for 5 years now but I have just started to do research. Last year I upgraded to a 350 stock tank outside, I have 3 turtles, a 6 inch, and two 5 inches, it is currently NOT filtered. I was looking at what GPH a new filter should be some places say it should be times 5 but a filter for 1750 gallons seems like a lot. Help I don't know what to do.

    *Help Needed: I have had two baby yellow bellied sliders for about 6 months now with no issue, just recently as it has gotten colder (I didn't have a heater) they started to get lethargic not eating as much. So I bought a heater, replaced my heating bulb - but they still don't swim around that often and only eat sparingly almost not even interested in the feeding pellets. They are just sitting in a corner at the bottom the tank rn. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it! I don't know what else to do - i have checked for any visible sign of illness and they look okay. The tank is a 20 gallon high, water temp 79 degrees, food mix of pellets and shrimp, and I do regular water changes.
