Ahh, the upper-echelon of turtle keeping.

What do you have it feeding on?

Really vibrant colors, looks quite healthy.

Thanks for the kind comments people.
He's on a diet of live feeders; platies, guppies, swordtails, mollies, ghost shrimps

He also have calcium and multivitamins added into the water.
