My RES Started Doing This To The Plecco He Was Raised With At About A Year Old. Then One Morning I Woke Up To Find Eric The Turtle Eating The Plecco! It Was More Of A Territorial Thing I Guess
Too funny My mate has the same fish and the same turtle and they do the exact same thing! lol, Did my homework and turns out that his giving the fish little Mating Slaps lol
@illtriniboy - They have been together forever , the turtle was about the size of a tonnie when I got him and the fish was about the length of my pinky finger . They are best friends = )
@jcrotty23 dude you turtule is a boy becouse of its nails or long and the grils have short nails the boys use big long nails to fight gril use shot nails to but there babys some where sow your turtule a boy
The turtle is just showing signs of aggression towards the fish, and all turtles do that to other turtles for either dominance or mating rituals, so in this case, it's dominance that he's portraying to the fish
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL @ those weird hand movements the turtle makes. Dumb motherfucker. Can't he tell the differenece between him and a fish, harassing that poor fish, stupidass motherfucker! If I were that fish, I'd tell his arthritic hand ass to get the fuck up the street! Stupid song in the background playing, btw
No way! Mine eats small ones of those! I have put like 3 or 4 in there and he has eaten them all! I have stooped doing that however because it was becoming an expensive snack! lol
Lol... He's fluttering for dominance, guys. They does always flutter for mating. If the pleco was smaller than him, he'd attempt to eat it, rather than flutter. Yes, turtles eat all kinds of fish. Nothing can really live with turtles well, even other turtles.
Not a good idea. Not to be rude to you, cause what you said was really funny, it's just that RES are very, very overpopulated, and RES hatchlings have a very high mortality rate. RES females have also been known to attempt to injure, or kill a male for seeking her out.
I would suggest you feed your baby turtle mostly turtle pellets sold at pet stores. You can also feed them feeder fish or shrimp when its big enough to hunt. Your turtle will grow up to 12 inches long. Make sure it has enough room in the tank to swim, and it also needs fair amount of sunlight on dry spots.
you have to go to the atore and buy reptomin and ther is a selection of food that you can get.. i have 2" turtles myself.. if you do research you will find out many things about these turtles.
Lol that is not the mating ritual. It is a battle ritual to intimidate the fish. Its like seeing who is the best. Mating ritual in done only to other turtles of the opposite sex.
Are you sure it isnt the other way around. There is no reason your female would get on top . Males have long nails and are usually smaller in size . Females are usually fatter and have really short nails if any. I think you have the sex mixed up ! ?
@jcrotty23 i've got the same thing(kinda) going on, my female res keeps doing that to one of the clown loaches she shares a tank with. and yes, i'm sure it's a female, stubby tail, short nails and already bigger than most males will get.
The fish I have in mine is a Cat fish ....is does a good job helping keep the tank clean . Turtles love snails ..... so dont put those in . Not sure about any other ones .
Depends on your turtle really ....I had 10 gold fish (3cm) in there for 4 months and he just decided to eat one yesterday. He has lived with this fish since they were both babies .... they love eachother. They like the fancy ones so stay away from those ...just get some really fast fish !
Hi.You really should not have any gravel in your tank.Your turtle might try to put the gravel into it's mouth.I have seen it happen to a friends turtle- not good!!! For your turtles sake- take the gravel out please!!!
Haha, I didnt know why is my turtle does this with my finger and now he is hitting on one of my fish all day long. I cant stop laughing when he does this to the fish, poor little fish got so scare and he's trying to hide inside the rock.
I used to have a plecostomus (the real term for that black catfish)...except my red-eared slider didn't flirt with it...she tried to taste him...she flirts with rocks and power chords instead. >_> poor dumb thing.
be careful with all those pebbles, once ur res is old enough he will eat some of them and just shit them out like crazy.. one day he will eventually try to eat one too big for his body..
They have lived together since they were both babies ....the fish is BIGGER then the turtle now ...they sleep together !! The turtle would not eat her ...he thinks she is his mate :)
They have lived together since they were both like 3 mnths old....he has actually climbed on top and tried sticking his tail under the fish...this is a mating thing ....lol
haha pretty funny. my two juveniels do that some times. usually the male one but sometimes the female will reciprocate it.

You should cut down on the amount of protein you're giving the turtle. I see some pyramiding going on his shell. Cute video though!
