setting up a turtle tank
« on: November 14, 2009, 04:09:59 PM »
Alright, i have been talking about this in the amphibian section because it started out asking if my firebelly's can live with with my hatchling turtles, 1 reeves and 2 mississippi maps. I currently am housing the turtles in my 55gal, but just got a 125 gal tank because i want to set it up different. I am trying to find a 10in tall divider that will fit the width of my tank so that i can set up one section as gravel with some soil type stuff on top with a few plants on top of it, and then the majority of the tank will have about 9 in or so of water with maybe a small waterfall. I am wanting to put a rope fish or two in the tank with them, i will have feeder fish and plenty of places the ropes can hide so the turtles cant bite at them.
thanks for any help.

I wouldnt keep fish and turtles together.. one, your fish will get eaten or picked on. Turtles will eat what is in the tank. If its moving its free food.

the Divider just go to Home Depot or the like and buy a big sheet of plexi glass and silicon it into place I think this is your best bet. I then would have a log hanging off that area for the turtles to climb in an out of the water with.
