expensive feeder fish for FRT (:<)

[Vicious_Fish]

Usually keeping fish with turtles ends in disaster for the fish....usually. But there are some exceptions. I have a female convict cichlid that has beem living with my Musk Turtle for about 3 months now and I've seen no aggression what so ever between the two. The turtle totally ignores the cichlid as if she wasn't even there. Actually she follows the turtle around everywhere cleaning up his scraps. They're quite the odd couple. How long this relationship will last, I have no idea.

maybe they'll mate. they would sell 4 a real high price.

Last weekend I had some issues with my one pleco and the only place I could put him was in with my turtle. So far , so good. Everyone is getting along finde. The pleco has done an outstanding job cleaning up all the algae in the tank. The downside is he's a poop machine. I have to do 25% water change a day now. Anyone want a pleco?

I had a FRT eat a tigrinus, just the face. RIP tigrinus.

I have a very large pleco that is about 7 + years old.

It is a string poop bomb also.

You do a 25% change everyday. Oh my that is a lot of work.

Your are certainly dedicated fish keeper.

Just want to say that your tank is sweet & your musk turtle is so cute!


Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Thanks for the complement! I more or less do a 25% WC a day but I have a pretty good system for doing it so it's not that big of a deal. Now that the algae problem has died down I'm not seeing as much poop.

Yes they are a cute couple. I'll make millions if I get any offspring from the pair. MFK members will get a 10% discount!

I think I would enjoy the pleco experience more if he was a bit smaller. Can I trade him for one of your designer plecos?
