That dang turtle did it again.
him and the fish are in a spat .... not sure what about, but that whole tank has been in an uproar the last few weeks.
Poor ben will be basking and the fish keep splashing him, till he is wet .... and upset again. A chase ensures, and the 4 fish gang up on him and beat the tar outta him...which is actually really funny to watch .. no damage to anyone, he just tucks in and they bat him around with their mouths.
Well, anyway, yesterday I put 100 fish in their and about 75 of them were shredded come morning, not bitten and bits left over ... no no, there was eyes, and partial heads, a few tails and fins, but it was an inch thick layering on the bottom .... of shredded fish.
What....
Yes,
Ben apparently decided he couldnt eat them all, fast enough and the fish werent allowed to have any , so he shredded ... murdered (cause he didnt eat them.....!!!) ... 75 goldfish and then had the gall to beg for food this morning.
Oh dear,
Indeed
i damn near killed him....the house stunk, the filters were totally clogged and the power heads were no better. And him, Ben, in the middle of this chaos, wanting pellets. Four hours later and few expletives .... the turtle is fine (I didnt kill him or hurt him) and his tank is now just cloudy .... sigh.
The joy of turtle ownership, at its finest.
