    hat to be that guy.. but reptiles is my other hobby and he def needs a mercury vapor bulb or MVB, unless you keep him outsude, MVB bulbs are for basking and have a fake sun they need, and eventually that little turlte with need like a 75 gallon tank with a hell of a filter, yea it can live for a while witohut a MVB bulb but it will get a bone disease and live misrable.. trust me catfish and reptiles... i know more about reptiles that catfish..

    I have the opposite problem.The bullheads eat everything I drop in.Just put a bunch of food in there,they will eat it.If the Bullhead is hungry,he'll take the food from the turtle...I use to have a flathead,until my bullheads killed him,they are way more aggressive than a flathead,so if they are hungry,they'll get their share...

    ive had a couple painters and even a couple snappers as pets before. Snappers make such a mess w there food and require alot more upkeep. lol good luck to you.
