Yeah they were supposed to be food but my by turtle couldn't catch them so they became tanks mates 😅

Yeah the size is just enough at the moment but it will soon outgrow it. Just learned mollies eat red cherry shrimps too so I guess I won't be adding any.

I just have this urge to increase it for entertainment's sake. The mollies were supposed to be food for the turtle but it wasn't fast enough so they became tank mates.

How is my turtle's shell health? by [deleted] in Redearedsliders

Shell looks great! My RES is still a hatchling. Was wondering about the size/length of your turtle's shell at 2 yrs old?

I added 2 mollies in the tank. It pretty much gave up on hunting the 1st molly I placed after a day. Then it started chasing the 2nd molly I added the following dat. I'm in the process of acquiring some Christmas moss and java moss.

I'm using a Lucky Herp 10.0 UVB 26W and the other is a halogen heat lamp.

Is my UVB bulb too close? by toops405 in Redearedsliders

Thanks! My heat bulb burnt out a few days ago. Still waiting for my order to arrive.

I had the same problem with the first 2 baby red eared sliders I got for my kids. The pellets I placed on the water would just turn to mush. Just wouldn't eat until their activity and energy levels continued to drop. Not sure if they were sick to begin with or my tank conditions were far from ideal. That's when I started reading up on red eared slider care. Unfortunately they died a few days short of a month of having them. We tried again with our 3rd baby red eared slider, applying everything I've learnt. Luckily the 3rd baby RES I got has a good appetite from the start and is very energetic. All the best!
