Greetings Turtle lovers!
Neptune Turtle visiting you again. I wanted to introduce my pond mate, Fishy. He was a feeder fish 'trudging' through life with a very gloomy future. Thankfully, my staff rescued Fishy about 5-months ago. We swim together, sleep together but sometimes fuss over pieces of fresh shrimp that our kitchen staff carefully prepares for us. Fishy is quite patient and waits nearby when I bask on my island. Anyway, I wanted to introduce my friend, Fishy.
Happy basking!
Neptune

Oh that is such a cute picture Neptune and his friend! So nice that you rescued Fishy too. My Percy would chomp on the fish food and make a mess which the smaller shubunkins loved! Do you feed Neptune live meal worms? That was Percy's favorite:)

Oh yeah, meal worms and all sorts of fresh foods. I grow the meal worms and keep all sizes. Neptune likes the jumbo size, 'Archie' the Archerfish likes medium and Fishy likes the really small worms.

UH OH won't fishies days be numbered if Neptune gets really hungry?
Well....we thought of that. It could be a problem but for now, they just chill out together. We are watching to see if it becomes an issue and will move Fishy to the other indoor pond that has the Upside Down Catfish and Mangrove trees.

Lucky turtle! I was going to grow my mealworms too if Percy stayed:(
