What are we supposed to feed a red-eared slider?
I have been reading several websites about RES care and am recieving conflicting information about what to feed them. Some say it is ok to catch wild bugs (worms, crickets) as long as they are not exposed to chemicals, while another says no because of parasites. One site says commercial food should only be 25% of the diet while another says it should be the main staple. One says feeder fish from a pet store are fine on occasion (but never indicates how often) while another says no to certain feeder fish (such as goldfish). One website says ‘no’ to shrimp while commercial pellets contain shrimp. How much and how often should I feed the turtle? Will feeding him as much as he can eat in 15 minutes (in a separate tub) once a day be too much? I think he is still pretty young….he’s about 6″ long. I got him from a coworker who got him at a pet store and she was going to release him into the wild. I couldn’t let that happen, so I brought him home, but I am unprepared. I have pellots for now.
Emeril’s shrimp stuffed tomatoes?
There was a recipe on Emeril’s earlier this year for shrimp stuffed tomatoes but I can’t find it on his web site. He stuffed shrimp into plum tomatoes with tarragon and a cream sauce.
Does anyone know the full recipe?
Some questions on Oscars, help please!?
I’ve been looking at SO many different types of fish combinations for a 75 gallon freshwater tank, and I have decided to go with a common favorite, a pair of Oscars. I’ve looked online, but I can’t seem to find a very reliable site for information on the species.
1. I hear feeder fish are bad for fish. I understand why. Should I stick to pellets and frozen fish foods like krill and shrimp?
2. How can you tell males and females apart? I want to get a pair of them, and I’ve read that males will fight.
3. Any way I could get away with putting in a Pleco in there as well? With weekly water changes and vacuuming.
4. I hear they like sand. How do you go about vacuuming sand? My pump takes all of the poop and debris out of the tank, and the rocks get stuck. I would imagine the sand would just get thrown out and treated like poop.
5. Are they friendly? I hear they’re very responsive to their owners.
Any other information that you feel would be an important thing to say would be great. Thank you.

Blood Shrimp. Freshwater?
i was reading about blood shrimp, they are the only good looking shrimp available at my local pet store, and the site i was reading said it was marine safe, or something along the lines of that. to me it sounded like it could be in freshwater, just by the way it was worded. so, can blood shrimp be in freshwater?
