Turtle Tank with Comet & Shubunkin Goldfish

Here is the latest video of our turtle / goldfish tank. Everybody is now about 9-10 months old. The largest turtle, "Cal Norton" is about 4", the smaller turtle, named "Ricky Bobby" is about 3 inches. The gold fish have really grown and are equal in size to the turtles. There are also three smaller shubunkin goldfish.

The turtles and fish get along well. We actually have to watch to be sure the turtles get their fare share of the food. The fish can be aggressive and take all the food before the turtles get their portion.

This is a 40 gallon rectangular tank with a pump filter designed for a 100 gallon tank. The extra capacity is needed to support the turtles. We generally feed turtle pellets, green leafy vegetables, and flake fish food daily.

i thought comets oly came in silver

@CABLETHRASH They were silver when we first got them (at least two were) then they slowly changed color (In fact we named one of them "Jack" because he looked like a shiny 50¢ coin with Jack Kennedy). This video is several years old now. All the fish and turtles are now in a new Koi Pond in our yard and doing well. We lost one of the comets about a year ago, but added about 6 Koi.

I heard turtles can eat goldfish or WILL eat goldfish...but your fish seem big enough.

cool vid.

@ColtFortyFiveSon We bought the goldfish and feeders for the turtles. But the turtles just ignored them. As long as their is free stick food falling from the sky each day they don't want to bother to hunt fish.
