I call that “plopping”. Love it when my turtles do that

It's so amusing aha, doesn't get her anywhere but she insists on doing it anyway!

It's a nightmare when you don't know what's causing it 😂

How much of the plant does Marie eat? I have a 20 yr old musk turtle and he eats the plants until there is nothing left! Love the channel. Keep it up

I normally order bunches of 25 strands and it lasts around 3-4 months (the growth rate helps pace it out a bit). He'll probably love them haha, the bigger the tank you have the more you can get and the longer they'll last!! And thanks! Glad you're enjoying it 😄

how do you prevent your plants from being moved about by the filter current?? whenever i add some they get swirled around even if theyre planted in the substrate!

@sg_animals. 3 жыл бұрын

With standard aquarium plants a decent substrate layer should hold them down. It's normally a case of constantly replanting till the roots have taken a proper hold and hold themselves down! I've got elodea densa and allow it to ''free float'', they aren't always the best rooters so I'm happy to let them drift

What do you do for her laying her eggs even if they are not fertilised ??

@sg_animals. 3 жыл бұрын

She typically has a land section filled with sand in case she wants to lay eggs. So far she hasn't laid any with me, I assume her start in life meant most energy was spent repairing her shell rather than producing eggs but maybe sometime in the future! Hope this helps :)
