    Ok since starting the guppy regimine I have noticed something besides very happy terrapins. I have noticed terrapins that are getting chubby (laughing). I know about this not being beneficial. The terrapins are about 2 inches and eating extremely well. How many guppies would you suggest I feed these guys daily? I know the other day they each ate five… I know I know!! I don’t know where they put it, but it shows where it went today (fat)! These little guys have me hooked… I am going to go get some JumboMin to day by the way. Thomas

    Thomas, 5 guppies between 3 juvies shouldn’t be too much! Not quite 2 per turtle but if you’re concerned about them getting fat, then you could try just feeding 3 and putting another 3 in their tank and let them work for it. At any rate, do get them on something with plenty of Thiamine in case the guppies contain thiaminase. Rosies and goldfish do but I don’t recall any research done on guppies. -Stephen C — In diamondbackterrapins@yahoogroups.com, “skeebo1969”
