Like I said, the turtles quickly outgrew the 15-gallon tank they called home. I upgraded to a 46-gallon. Hopefully this will last at least couple of years...it will be kind of crowded if both grow up to be 10" long. We will see.

Power Nap
Mr. Sun taking a nap during the afternoon...totally aware that I was doing a photo shoot for him.
Dinner!
Mr. Sun enjoying dinner at his new home. Like Miss Mi, he looked tiny in the new home...well, not for long.
New Home
OK, I finally got a bigger home for the turtles. This time, it was a 15-gallon tank. Miss Mi looked tiny in this thing on the moving date. It was hard to imagine that she would soon outgrow this tank in merely 10-month time.
Escape Attempt
One of the turtle got sick and I had to send it back. So I was left with two. I placed them in this bowl while I changed water for their home. The bottom of this bowl isn't even big enough for two quarters to lie flat. That should give you an idea how big (or small) the turtles were.
Basking
I think Miss Mi is the smartest turtle of the three. She quickly figured out the little island in the center is used for basking. This was less than 24 hours after she arrived! The other turtles never quite learned it...or were just too shy.
Three's a crowd
OK, I blogged enough about the fish...what about some turtles? This picture was taken right before I placed them in this island habitat I purchased along with the red-ear sliders. They quickly outgrew it. The little tank only lasted about a month.
