I've got feeder guppies in there as well as rosey reds and some catfish. Sometimes they eat my danios too though but I expect them too. Every couple of days I put them in a separate tank and feed them reptomin and veggies for more nutrition. I also have a cuttle bone on the tank that they sometimes crunch on for calcium. They're in a 75 gal tank with a Fluval FX5.

Hi Dan.
Well you have just said: Snappy, snappy is a chelydra but talking about a macro it is a different ball Dan.
Cheers.
Vegetable mater is very inportant on snappers diet
Chelidras will eat aquatic plants like water letuce and Elodea. Macros in the wild aparently eat lots of aquatic plants, fallen fruit and specialy haycorns. These prevent stuff like piramidism and metabolic probs. One of the easiest ways is to both give them aquatic plants wich grow if not eaten and give them vegetable based reptile and fish pellets as a complement, like mazuri tortoise food, wich normaly are readly eaten

I should have been a little more specific but what I do is get a few sticks of reptomin, cover with moist, crushed cuttle bone for calcium, and wrap with some romaine lettuce and collard greens. The moist calcium makes it sticky to hold the veggies on. Takes some work but is an exellent source of every nutrient my turtle needs. The added fish in the tank is there for fun and thrill of the hunt too
