Well, been busy lately as my computer crashed a couple weeks ago..anywhoo...Got a new filter and a good water heater a while ago and I believe Kalas is finally eating now!! I accidently dropped in like 7 little dried shrimp and turned off the filter as it's jet is quite strong...and when I came back and looked in later like all but three of the shrimp were gone and I moved them on the edge of the "turtle dock" we also got him that he does like a lot....and then later they were all gone too!! So now I always turn off the filter and put his foods at the edge of the dock and they all seem to disappear!! The guppies are still swimming around in there, but oh well he'll either eat them eventually or they'll become his friends...lol

ah, well Kalas is only like an inch or so across....I dont wanna over feed him, but then he seems to eat everything...so I dont wanna be starving him either...

keep checking. there's no "exactly how much and how often" so u'll have to flip him and look at his feet holes. if u see flesh coming out all the time not only when he's breathing, ur guy is over-weight and needs to be put on a diet. now even if he's fit, include veggies in his meals and a nice walk on the floor or swimming in the bath tub will give him a nice exercise Smile

thanks!! He gets quite a bit of excersise in his tank though as it's so much bigger than him...but I do want to take him out to run around a bit sometimes...he doesnt seem to bother with veggies much but I will try and give him some once a week or something....
