They're looking good!

Thanks!

There is nothing quite like breeding fish and getting fry to adults. Master Fishkeeping IMHO.

It definitely keeps the hobby fun and exciting

What kind of turtle is it??? Is it not able to eat the fry?

Literally the same thing happened to my cories (i think, it might have been the loaches)

It’s a Florida x spinny hybrid. He is still small, but I do suspect he has ate a few. Or the bigger babies have picked off the smaller ones because I do have less now then I did a couple months ago.
But I never see him hunt them. I don’t feed him live food so other then instinct kicking in he hasn’t been raised to eat them.

One time I was walking by the pond at 10 and saw 3 or so softshells destroying some gambusia. Just be careful and keep him well fed.

I’ve only ever seen one softshell in the wild. Wasn’t sure what it was at first since I had never seen one before. Haha. Lucky you got to see three!

He is always well fed but I also don’t put fish in with the turtles that I’d be sad to see gone. Things happen and you never know what they might do!
