The fighting started! Yeah! Shared that Raphael is a little territorial and likes to use his jaws to assert his presence and sometimes to discover things! So he started biting Dona the other day! We caught him red-handed and hence papa scolded him and we separated him into a smaller tank! But we still put him in like we said when we are around so that he felt included!
Oh my! Tried putting in lettuce for them to chunk and they really like it a lot! Especially Dona! She been chunk-ing, clinging and playing with the lettuce ever since! Hence we need this little fish net to pull up some of the chunks that the filter missed!
In order to solve the fighting/ biting problem, husband put on his thinking cap and we drove out to look for something nice for our two naughties! We went to this aquarium shop called Pacific Aquarium Center in Taman Ungku Aminah at Johor Bahru and it was paradise for reptiles! Oh! They had quite a few nice stuff for turtles too! So we bought this Turtle Bank/ dock for Raphael to climb on but so that he doesn't have to fight with Dona over at the rock area but, so far it was Dona who is clinging to the dock! This girl really cannot decide yet where she wants to bask!
Two different types of plants for them to play (Blue for Raphael and Pink for Dona) and yeah we collected two rocks yesterday for Raphael to push around in the tank! This is definitely going to be fun for them and even better for us to watch! We just installed them into the tank after scrubbing it with soap and then clean soak it hot salt water. Both are still exploring and getting to know the new stuff! Dona the brave girl doing a whole lot more exploring! Started off by biting the artificial plants (every single corner of it) and then she swam to the new side (the dock side) and started clinging onto it! After that she went down and swim slowly but her eyes averting from left to right to check out what we added into the tank! Raphael?! Well he does what he likes to do best! Swimming FRANTICALLY and hanging to the heater / filter.
Happy turtles indeed!
