Its not really fair to feed feeder fish to a predator which can't finish them off quickly...

 

[roseK]

well he got three in one day so i think thats pretty good. and hes not going to get them often.

Thats not the point, you should only feed him feeder fish if he can finish them off quickly, not chase them around for entire day causing them lots of unesarsary stress. Even if the fish are just feeder fish, you should still treat them with respect.

 

[roseK]

okay, you can tell wall-e not to play with his food.

 

[fishboy619]

what is wall-e?

 

[roseK]

wall-e is a turtle

Basicaly what he is saying is just feed him one fish at a time.

 

[jayjay]

Why is it being fed feeders? Feeders are normally (or at least should be) fish that are swallowed straight away whole. It's not great for them to be chased around in a confined area, where they most likely get exhausted then eaten.

Much easier for the turtle and you to feed dead fish to the turtle?

"Wall-e" is what type of turtle? And what size tank is it in?

 

[roseK]

idk if he eats them whole or not i havent seen, but i dont think he would bite it piece by piece.. and if thats how he likes to eat fine.

he is a red ear slider, and is in a ten gal tank and is going to be moved in a month or less of time he is still tiny and the tank is pvcer 75% filled with water. plenty of swimming space.

and i dont care if he likes to chase them or not, and how else will he eat them ithout catching them.

wall-e wouldnt like this kinda talk, he is enjoying himself and i like to see him happy i dont care about the little guppies

I DONT CARE

edit: I HATE GUPPIES

 

[jayjay]

If you don't care, why reply

Because you hate guppies makes it right for them to be stressed does it? Because I hate kittens, can I go get myself a nice sized lungfish and feed it kittens or would you disapprove?

Describe how one tells a turtle is happy please.

If you don't care about the chase, why not feed things that are already dead instead of feeders?

 

[roseK]

i reply because i find this amusing. and do you have a turtle? if you do, how do you know if its happy? and if you dont, then why would you ask that.


do lungfish eat kittens? is it in their diet? then sure you do that.

wall-e is a turtle, he is doing what comes naturally, attack the moving fishie
