oh believe me i have the water set at 1.008 gravity and he has the choice to get out if he wants to. i threw the gold fish in because my friend has a turtle and he got way to many for the amount he feeds it. and it was just going to die so i gigured i would drop it in with my crab. so far it...

ok so i was wondering what fish do fiddlers eat. i know they will eat any kindof bottom dwellers but are they specific. i have a goldfish thats about an inch long and i havent seen him go after that. oh and the fiddler is about 2.5 to 3 inchs big. would a 1 in fish be alright or will he...

ok because he hasnt eaten anything that i can tell, im about to vacuum the bottom because theres quite a bit of food. he does sit in one spot ALOT. sometimes out of the water sometimes under the log i put in there. so im hoping he is just about to molt and not sick or dieing

well normally i feed my fiddler 3 times a day and he eats it all. well lately he has stopped eating as much. he is active but not as much as he was. im gonna clean the tank in hopes that, that might help but does anyone know if they eat when molting? or if this sounds like creeping death?

yea it does suck but the turtle never acted right when he first got it anyway. it had a dent in one side of its shell and the underbody that looked like somebody had picked him up and squeezed to hard. He is gonna go back and tell them they gave him a sick turtle which it was, with what we have...

well nevermind the turtle died today, thanks for the help though guys

i noticed he has what looks like a chunk is missing and its also black not sure if he was attacked at one point or if its just a spot and nothing. id try and get a picture but he is photo shy

ok ive had my fiddler for about a month now and i have him in a 5.5 gallon tank with 1.007 salt gravity and i feed him 3 times aday. He seems really happy, i think he has even started to molt but theres two things that im curious about. He's always trying to get out even though he cant he still...

yea ill tell him thats what he should do

yea he knows it was illegal to buy a turtle that small but he signed papers saying it was for scientific use. He has a heating tube in the water plus a ultraviolet light and regular white light on the top. He bought it and he is trying to feed it bits of worm and this hatchling food thats pretty...

ok so there are four of us guys that have tanks. i have a 5.5 gal with a fiddler and he is doing really good. aside from being skiddish when someone stands over the tank, i think he's doing well. two of the other guys have red eared sliders in 10 gals and they are doing very well. my problem is...

well what i meant is a tank light

yea thats what i was thinking, alright thanks

well i read somewhere that fiddlers generally come out at night onto the beach and i was wondering should i turn off the light at night when i go to bed and flip it back on when i get up?

well i went ahead and bought a 5.5 gal tank, right now ive got it about half full with about a half inch of small gravel at the bottom. i added a chemical to kill the chlorine and then im gonna add some instant ocean tomorrow not to the specific gravity but about half of it. im gonna fill it to...
