Hi all, what do you guys use on the bottom of your tanks? I'm thinking nothing is the best way to go so they cant ingest any particles but is there something that works and looks attractive?
Thank you very much,
Carole
PS I dont keep painteds but have pink bellied sidenecks (2) a diamondback terrapin and 2 spotted turtles (housed separately of course)

nothing is best but if you want substrate for the look you can use large gravel or rocks. If you use this it will harder to keep clean
A long time ago, before we knew better we had larger gravel on the bottom but after the hundreth time rinsing out the rocks, it got old, and the rocks got tossed. its hard becuae of the constant water changing, and the rocks collect a LOT of feces/ scutes etc so the filter cant. if youve got the spotties in a half-half tank, your best bet is to use a water proof tank grass and put a small cat litter pan into the tank (with obvious means of entrance and egress) and use that as a pool.. it will make cleaning so much easier.
