    I know you probably don't/have already heard this, but please do not use those feeder minnows or feeder goldfish from big pet stores. I know they're more expensive but mollys/platys and guppies are extremely healthier, and you have less of a risk, recently I had two turtles, one I had for about 3 years, and one for a year, I fed them the minnows just fine many times, then I guess there was something wrong with a dozen or so I had purchased, both turtles passed after eating just a few fish, one left half eaten fish around which was also odd, just be careful, I'd hate to see anything happen to your turtle.

    • @Ubraxos
      @Ubraxos 4 роки тому

      Turtle Loving Guy that’s a common misconception, they’re just more bone than meat, so people assume they’re filled with parasites, most parasites cannot transfer from fish to reptile. Minnows are just harder to digest them meatier fish. Unless you overfeed (handfeed like 10 minnows) there shouldn’t be anything wrong.

    • @BrokenJawProduction
      @BrokenJawProduction 4 роки тому

      @@Ubraxos It's still odd my turtles randomly died, and they don't take care of these fish at all, most pets stores don't, leaving dead fish and feces all over the tank, either way that doesn't seem like it would be a healthy choice for feeder fish.

    It's pathetic fish like minnows and goldfish are intentionally labeled and used as "feeders" but no other fish at the pet store are... why because they aren't as "pretty" and don't have super bright flashy colors?!?!

      Christian Witte turtle will eat until they hurt their stomach, but most of the time, they know when they are full, so they’ll stop chasing the fish when they know that they don’t need the food, but if it’s pellets, and the pellets don’t exactly swim away, they will definitely overeat.
