Our turtles have started to grow. Now we have noticed that if you look closely you will see the pleco fishes! This picture shows a little turtle sticking it's head out of the water. On the rock next to it is the other turtle! Our water has become much clearer then when we first put in the water. In the background is a cord connecting to the filter! We have not seen Feredric lately. Feredric is our slug. We have pretty much never seen the turtles eat their turtle food! We have noticed that if you look in from the sides you REALLY see the algae! Our filter has not put as much pressure as we want it to.

There is a really cool fish in the pond because

it has 2 spots on his nose! It looks like a snail. from the picture I see the fish hiding! The fish have plenty of food to eat!

There is a waterfall in our pond. There are two turtles laying on top of each other. The two turtles are on a rock. The waterfall is really a filter. There is a tunnel under the rock.

The turtles came yesterday. One turtle was taking a shower and fell off the rock. This picture shows them climbing on top of each other on the rock in the tank.

We have a friend we want you to meet! He is a pleco. See what he is doing. Well if you don't know, he is eating. He eats algae.

We got turtles , there are two of them. They are Red Eared sliders. Turtles like to swim a lot. I notice that one is lighter then the other.

This is a Catfish. Annie found a book about Catfish. Some Catfish can grow up to be 10 feet and weigh 400 pounds.

We got fish! Most of them are orange. One of them got hurt. We also got fish that suck the algae off the rocks.The fish that suck the algae will clean the pond. There is one catfish in the pond. We can't find the slug.

The tadpoles are getting alot bigger. They are growing fast! They are getting so lumpy. They look like little beads. They rest alot and do not swim alot. Sometimes they rest on underwater rocks.

by Alice

In our pond we got tadpoles. Soon they will turn into frogs. But some will not turn into frogs. We have alot of tadpoles. Some may die but thats ok. They kind of look like mice. In the picture you can see they're swiming. Thats ok but baby tadpoles need lots of sleep. So they can get strong and live.

We've begun setting up our pond. We decided that the nonliving elements we would need included rocks, sand, mud, and water. We collected rocks and mud from oustide and this is a picture of Miss Paton pouring in the sand. In the second picture, you can see that somebody hitched a ride! A slug is the first inhabitant of our pond. We can't wait to share this exciting adventure with you.
