[loco1985padro]

Very nice setup i really like what u have done here but if i may suggest u nix the gravel for the turtle sake when they get a lil bit bigger they can accidently swallow then u wud had a bad and expensive vet bill

[777thefreedomfighter]

[reptileloverful]

[ilikebabyturtle]

[araleas]

How can you keep the water so clean?

[Duckieskickurass]

Cute fish. I have a lot of the same fish as you, along with turtles in my tank.

[ThePumpkinthecat]

Is it ok to put 10 cichlids and a razor back musk a red eared slider and a painted turtle in a 125 gallon tank?. Also how hi should the water be for turtles. Pleas help!

[will20091995]

i just put 2 turtles in my oscar tank , they always float they dont swim deep only on the surface !! any idea why ? please answer =D

[man7771001]

AWWWWW

[EkoS7]

Ok, I see it now:) you should show the basking area, how its heating, lighting etc.

[EkoS7]

Do they have any basking area?? They should!

[chadunn13]

@EkoS7 ya u can see a floating dock one at the beginning

[jackz555]

how is your PH? Is the turtle fine in higher ph water???

[TrynaGetPaid1991]

What do you have to do to make the water safe for the red eared slider. I have a 55 gal fish tank, it's empty now but I plan on putting fish in and my sister wanted to put her red eared slider in the same tank. What other fish get along with red eared sliders

[IceyCat134]

@TrynaGetPaid1991 I have a painted turtle and a RES, large fish they can't eat helps the problems.

[spongeex]

thats much that is here in the netherland 273 1 liter cola bottles!

[walsallcrew]

@sittip

Non! Turtles are carnivores! While some turtles naturally prefer fruit and vegs. It's down to the turtle. My turtle is 5 and he Dosent bother with my fish but now and again there's one missing. So sometimes he does fancy a treat!

[sittip]

what fish??

[couldnotfindcoolname]

[IRONMANREDNGOLD]

how do u set up a freshwater sump or do u have any videos in mind so i can look @ em i jus got a 72 gal fluval aquarium today?????????????????

[JSoriano23]

@IRONMANREDNGOLD Sump came with it when I bought it

[kenho3j0k3r]

beautiful tank u got there

[MXZCharlie]

have you had any problems with turtle agression?.. my RES have killed all the fish i ever tried putting with them lol

[JSoriano23]

@MXZCharlie Of course, they ate my yellow and blues lol.. but as long as you keep em fed, they should be content

[redearedslider1]

@MXZCharlie This shouldn't be a problem once your turtle grows out of that "carnivorous" phase. When they get older they have more of a vegetation like diet.

[CABLETHRASH]

beautiful love the lighting

[MyRedEaredSliders]

Wow I want a tank like that for my red sliders

[kingty313]

dnt yuu have tew put arquarium salt in there for the cichlids?.

[JSoriano23]

@kingty313 Cichlids are Freshwater

[snake21ab]

simple and beautiful , good job

[bigvic22sti]

[bigvic22sti]

[kenn3dy1]

it needs a rock to lay out on

[sunnybalster1]

[TheFishDude2613]

nice tank. it is very calm.

[marinaluvsmusic]

I love your tank! It so nice and calm :) My tanks are full of jumping and chasing :/

[metcalfe87]

thats sick dude

[sliq1]

72 gallon tank.. wow.. that must be quite a job to clean it.. I got a 33gallon tank with 2x 6 inch sliders and they need an upgrade.

Nice set up!

[JSoriano23]

@sliq1 Not really, I only change the water once a month. The 20gallon sump works pretty hard.

[wwecpp254]

@sliq1 red eared sliders should have a 125 gallon + so please buy that big a tank or give them away

[darthgir2]

I'm thinking of getting a red ear, would they be ok with my 2 blood parrots, and jack dempsey in my 55 gallon? The fish are about 3 inches and the red ear would be 4 inches.

[JSoriano23]

@darthgir2 You'd have to try them out on a trial basis.. and if it doesn't work, remove the fish

[darthgir2]

@JSoriano23 Thats what happened. She tried to attack my blood parrots so I moved them to another tank.

[kldio]

How long have your turtles there with the cichlids?

[ilovehorror999]

will they attack the fish

[mrJBKfilms]

do the cichlids breed? if so, do the turtles eat them?

[smooch357]

Hey, how much would a set up like this cost you? I'd love to have a tank like yours (with turtles, fish and a light inside of it ) in my room to fall asleep to at night. That'd be Amazing!!!! BTW how do you keep the water so clear, and could you post more videos, maybe longer ( I know you just posted a new upload, but I still want to see more). =)

[JSoriano23]

@smooch357 Got it cheap on Craigslist for $300, and it's pretty clear since I have good filtration (20g sump) and we'll see about a future video. :)

[BASsistJas]

what are the name of the fish pls tell me

[JSoriano23]

@BASsistJas Check out my new upload, they're Jags, Jack's, and Jewel's

[SaNTaSiMoS]

i love your tank!!! its perfect.. i have a cichlid tank and i m thinkin to put a turtle too. do you think i can have a turtle without a lamp?

[JSoriano23]

@SaNTaSiMoS I don't have a lamp, just make sure he get's Vitamin D through food.. and maybe have the tank open to natural sunlight

[JSoriano23]

Oh remember that I raised the turtles with the fish since they were babies... just fyi.

I'm betting if you threw a 6" turtle in there that he might just have a little feast!

[JSoriano23]

Some of my fish since then have been eaten, check out the latest video update I posted in my profile.

[martinez199327]

but u shud get a lamp so the can bask. even a regular bulb atleast.

[cwbrider16]

what is your pH at? I have a snapper and cichlids together and need to buffer the pH up for the cichlids...

[krazefrogg]

i have a 2 in. mississippi map turtle in a 55 gal. and i was wondering if i could get three small cichlids to live and grow with him??? someone plz answer soon! : )

[JSoriano23]

Cichlids are fast! Try it out and start with one and see if your turtle attempts to get him

[mistahkay]

Dude Honestly you did it !!!! Congrats on a perfect looking tank , How do you keep the turtles in order ???

[JSoriano23]

They all grew up together! It's like they family! LOL. They DO however, eat ANY yellow fish I throw in there and even some of the small guys. Right now I probably have about 15 in there, all looking pretty healthy. My Jags layed eggs, and they even hatched, but someone, I'm guessing RES's got to em.

[Tiffani956]

one beeautiful tank

[JSoriano23]

Thanks.. it's not as overcrowded anymore.. my RES's got hungry.. all the little ones are gone :(

[Surge3k]

wahht?! i wanted to put my 2 inch turtle with my angelfsh and tetra, but if he gets bigger he might want to eat them :PP
