Might also add a goldfish or two...Gives the RES some needed excercise catching them. Not to mention they will pick up any left over scrap left by the RES. Kind of a dual function addition...

:my turtles are about an inch and a half long. I'm assuming they are still very young. Right now i'm just feeding them Tetrafauna ReptoMin sticks. From what i read though, thats not really a good enough variety right? So this is a list of other things i found...any comments about this stuff??

:earthworms, crickets, sweet water shrimp, aquatic snails, water hyacinths, fruits, one commercial food, chicken, turkey, shrimp, tuna and lean beef, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, peas, grapes, apple peals, and aquatic plants

:now.......my question......are the earthworms and crickets and what not really necessary? me and worms and bugs just do NOT get along...is there like frozen things that are DEAD that i can give them that are just as beneficial??
