folks bringing it to you on a Sunday how does everybody doing ah your boy dude
was over five shooting a video at 7:45 for you all highly caffeinated and I got
some fun stuff to talk about today I got some turtles in the mix and I'm pumped
about that but I just want to say a quick thing real fast kwatak experience
couple weeks ago was epic I'm already signed up for next year
super good time meeting people saying what's up people like walk by look at me
like this and then like I'd be like what's up fishtank people's whole areas
like like I can tell like it's in the videos whatever stuff great time I love
the face-to-face interaction meeting with people and I just it's gonna do a
lot of emails a lot of comments whatever but that's not like actual like I'm a
social creature you know I need this interaction so I'm actually going to do
a live event you can click the link below it's a free here in Lexington
Kentucky so click the link at the bottom of this in the comments or in the
description and you cannot check that out but it's Sunday baby it's species
Sunday and I want to talk about something it's dustinsfishtanks but I
got to talk about these Turtles yo your boy didn't D didn't know how lonely he
was in the greenhouse until he got some turtles check these suckers out alright
so what I have here are uh red eared sliders okay and I'm not going to talk
much about red eared sliders like what they need today I'm going to talk about
their nutrition today because it relates well ah to the actual aquarium plants
that they eat so you can see this one right here uh coming up at us here
that's the boy right there he's loving it me and he just started pound to hit
ah the food I put in here so today I want to talk about these first is from a
high level um the story on these guys goes like this
my folks over at southla park um feeding me that delicious coffee were saying
that like hey man we know you're into the YouTube stuff and you got a bunch of
fish tanks do you have any Turtles you got any need for any turtles that's
like no the label does they were left for this on the side of the road for
dead ah and an aquarium that was cracked and
like that and she's like some lady's got him in a bucket and they're looking for
good home and I was like well I've always wanted a mascot for the green
house so I figure why not grab up these Turtles so I got these Turtles here you
can see there's the boy down in there and uh they got a pretty sick set up so
I picked them up there a lady from Eastern Kentucky with uh I don't really
call Mountain Dew teeth or whatever but um yeah I got on there they're in this
bucket straight up there in this bucket with like half an inch of water just
like I got even before when they hit the frickin lottery moving into the green
house with me they're in a 75 obviously I got driven in here I need to get them
a better like uva/uvb he like but um you know they're having a good time I'm
keeping them at 70 degrees or active they're pounding the duckweed and
they're pounding the salvinia and the frogmen so I just want to talk
today because it's species Sunday about four aquatic plants uh you can feed your
turtles and after street scene IV and then what not to feed them as well so no
it's good to wait for me because I got um you know available or whatever so the
first species that I recommend feeding the turtles and by the way turtles will
eat basically everything so um you know if you don't expect them like plants to
do well these are just like it's a straight-up foods I don't really try to
decorate with it I know this because I put a piece this big of an actress this
is an actress I put it in there yesterday that's about half gone so
they're pound they're probably hungry so I don't that's how they're normally
going to consume food but an actress ella jia a great one to feed turtles
they're loving it one that's probably even better than
that I've got duck weed right here and I've got this is actually salvinia the
larger stuff right here salvinia and then duck weed is the smaller stuff
underneath it the pound in this so totally totally totally good for them
you can see this here and I've got this coming out my nose so like this is
perfect form frog bit over here as another one I've seen them eat and then
I've got this here this is hornwort so you got an AK r SL Odia
native in the United States horror I think is native nice this could be wrong
uh and then so many a duck weed and frog bit all like those five totally awesome
things and they water like what I like about having these shows in the
greenhouse um go back to them as that this is stuff
they actually eat in a while like this is what they want to have out in the
wild like this is what they're going after so I'm real pumped about like
being able to just feed them what they want have it readily available you can
see my girl right there that's the female right there not as a little bit
bigger not as a cool stuff on the back but you know this stuff is readily
available I turn the lights on this morning they just instantly started
pounding it so it's great I got like all kinds of excess food they need a 75%
veggie diet so um with that said I want to turn it over to you all I would love
to hear what you know about turtles what you're keeping with them um you know how
you roll with them and let me know and then check out that link on that event
I'm doing in January so real pumped about that everybody make it an awesome
