Ok, two days ago I put a guppie in the tank and Oregano doesnt seem to have any interest in it. He even lets it swim along with him. If he doesnt eat it should I leave it in the tank or give it away? If he wont eat the guppie will he eat rosy reds or ghost shrimp?
Thanks
Deejay

He might eat it eventually. I put six guppies in the tank with my 2 turtles weeks ago and there are still two in there. I've never seen them chase them or anything, the guppies just disappeared. I don't think there is any harm in leaving the guppy in there if you want to.

I put 10 feeder fish in with my turtle. (They`re native to Japan. Basically, little minnows...)
He ignored them for about 2 weeks, then he ate two in two days, and he`s been ignoring them again for the last two weeks. Leave them in their long enough and they`ll get eaten.
