Default Feeding Fish??

Long shot but thought I would ask...

Does anyone know any places/people that sell cheap/bulk feeding fish?

My turtle just ate 10 gold fish in two days

Appreciate any help,

Daz

Yeah a mate gave me him/her about 4yrs ago. Had to get a license to own it too. A lot easier to get one for a turtle than a snake

Here is the tank.... it is 4ft long by 2 ft deep. Bought the tank cheap as a guy had that size custom made and never came to pick it up

Bugger all... The water has a heat mat under the tank as the water must be kept at a constant temperature. A UV light to help maintain the shell and during winter a heat lamp is placed over his floating dock to help dry the shell out when he/she desires. A good filtration system too.

Oh and lots of fish lol

I also feed the turtle "Turtle dinner" which I normally get from Balcatta pet store. It is a frozen food with vegies and some form of fish...it comes in a little frozen cubes that you just push out kinda like panadol.
