I have one red ear slider I named Lilypad, Lily for short. I feed her live feeder guppis and live rosy reds. She also eats romaine lettuce, carrots and grapes. I want to start to feed her bananas, and tomatos, and apples. I read somewhere on this site that pumpkins is also good for the turtle as well as watermelon. Lily also likes water hyacinths too. I currently have her in a 30 gallon tank. Another plant water plant that you can give your turle is anarchris...mine didn\'t care for it too much. You can name your turle after one of your favorite movie, or book characters, I named mine lilypad becasue when she was a baby she would float around and she looked like a lilypad. good luck with finding a name for your turtle
