So I have a 55 gallon fish tank that’s empty besides a 13 year old 5 inch African side neck turtle (Pelomedusa subrufa). Her tank is pretty decorated and she has a loft above it, but I feel like she’s lonely in it. She’s not an aggressive turtle. I’ve given her goldfish before but she never ate them, but she was actively eating pellets and insects (returned the goldfish after a month).

I was researching small plecos and I came across dwarf/mini snowball plecos. I think they’re adorable and I’d love one.

Background aside, does anyone know where I could purchase a mini snowball pleco online? There’s no stores remotely close to me in Maryland that sell them, and I don’t trust myself to drive for hours with a fish in my car, but I do trust professionals shipping them. Thank you to whoever‘s read all of this!

I recently got this “Thrive Elevated Turtle Basking Loft“ for my turtle to give her a little more space. her tank isn’t actually 40 gal, it’s more like 60, but it fits!! I want to put something on the bottom of it so she doesn’t get her nails stuck in the mesh. For now I have reptile carpet, but I know that’s not a great option. Since it’s like a metal mesh bottom, small rocks and sand would just fall through into the tank. Does anyone have any recommendations to use for the bottom of the basking loft?
