I think my turtles grow well and now they are bigger.
I grew more different plants as turtles like this kind of environment. Of course there are spray water and solar fan. When the sun comes, then the fan will be on. It makes sense to have some winds to cool down when it's hot
The turtles recognize me now and they are happy when they see me as it means I'll bring them some food. They especially like eating shrimps and lychees

Enjoy your turtles. I had turtles once as a kid. Sadly, they didn't live very long.

Lychee for turtle? Seriously lol.
Last time when I have turtle (They are actually Red-band tortoise). Whenever I change water for them, I will feed them by hand dry shrimps and vegetable, they will always eat it. They do recongnise their owners.

In fact not only lychees. I tried banana but they are not interested in it. They also like watermelon but now they like lychees much more
At the beginning I tried vegetables but they didn't like it at all. They also didn't like turtle food and I had to feed to fish. I give them steamed shrimps and they are crazy to it

What a nice group. I never had a turtle as a pet. I had a salamander once though.

Good to know about their growth. Do you live in an area nearby Sea or Rivers?
How do the turtles cope when it is hot as well as humid?

You got these from a market or special place?
I have seen such an arrangement for the first time.

I'm sure your turtles are happy with you... I always loved watching baby turtles grow up.

@DaddyEvil You are right. At the beginning this tank was suitable. But then I started to grow more plants and the turtles are fed up well, now it seems to be smaller
