I really enjoy them. Great information. I have to admit I have never heard about feeding baby mice to the adults. I think I'll just stick with earthworms and the like.

Like I said oonce you get past like the first 48 hours those fish become friends with the turtle. Also you shouldnt have 16 in there as it will be too much bio load on your filter and you will have to clean it constantly. So true about aquatic plants. My guys rip up every living thing I put in the damn aquarium. As for the calcium block.... it doesn't really matter. They aren't beautiful but they work wonders. Don't worry about him eating yet he is in a new environment and will take a while to get used to it! Keep me up dated! lol friggin A.

I have a few questions: Is there a certain calcium block you would suggest? I found a few at Petsmart but they're kind of ugly. Also, the little bugger is absolutely obsessed with uprooting my aquatic plants, I can't figure out how to give him to stop pulling them up! He hasn't eaten much since you gave him to me, I count 16 fish of the original 16 I purchased, every once in a while I'll put some dry food in there, and I'm going to start him on spinach as well. Not sure if this is the point where I should start worrying? Best, Nathan Sprig-
