    Timmy (TIIIIMMMMMAAAAYYYYYYY) has gotten to big for his shallow tank so we have upgraded him to a 3ft aquarium / aqua terrarium / paludarium. He shares his tank with fish as well. Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnows. I wanted for a simple planted aquascape in this one to allow easy aquarium maintenance later down the road. Timmy really seems to love it and it makes a great feature of the Studio 😊

    Here's a tip for turtle keepers: Try takin out your turtles in a separate container when it's feeding time. My RESs used to poop only when eating and removing them from the tank helped in keeping the tank clean for a longer period of time. Don't know if it's the same with other turtles.

    • @caseymoore4759
      @caseymoore4759 3 роки тому +2

      I just did a 55g scape for my adult Razorback musk turtles and used hardy Epiphytes like windelov ferns, Anubias varieties etc. you can glue them to stuff so there’s no worrying about things like the turtles digging them up. They have tough leaves that withstand kicks and stuff from the turtles. we put them in right after setting it up and the very first thing one of them did was trample a freshly placed windelov fern and after he walked a way it looked as good as it did before he did it. As for moving stuff around you just have to either secure it properly like we glued it all down, but at the same time it’s all placed with making everything naturally puzzle together, making sure there weren’t any areas that they’d want to go but couldn’t fit forcing them to push stuff around.
