I've had Scofield for about 8 months and Linc for about 2 months.

Scofield is about 6 inches and Linc about 5 inches.

They both LOVE ReptoMin Floating Food Sticks and HBH Turtle Bites. They also love Red Leaf Lettuce and the plants that we put in.

However, we've had 8 "feeder fish" that have now begun reproducing and there are about 19 of them in there now.

We have 4 Ghost Shrimp and one snail in there too.

Neither of the turtles have shown ANY interest in these live creatures. I don't mind so much because the other things are nice in the tank, but SHOULD I BE WORRIED? I've asked 3 different people at the local PetSmart, but all they say is "Well, they should eat them. You have weird turtles." Yeah, real nice answers.



It just seems like after doing A LOT of reading, these things should be history in the tank with these turtles. Any thoughts, suggestions etc.?



A little more info...

They are 2 Red Ear Sliders in a 125 gallon tank. Water temp is about 78, basking area about 92. They love basking and everything else seems normal. We have a Fluval 304 Filter and an AquaClear 70 gal. filter running also a bubble disk because they like to play in it!
