Changed the top on it.

Filled pond up so need to add a top where the floating islands are to stop the turtles from climbing out.

Yes though they will probably end up eaten by the turtles

It all depends on how the trait is passed om genetically and what other undesirable traits are passed on with it -
Managed to acquire an old water trough 4 metres across and about 1 metre deep Want to make a simple Turtle pond so will just create a floating island for the turtles to get out of the water, Used some close cell foam to create a platform One of those cheap storage containers from M10 to create a dirt area so they can lay in. Painted it and tied to sides to keep it fairly central in pond so the turtles can't climb out

So long as you are breeding with only the yellowest fish you will reach your goal.

Yes normally but the sponges are quite an open cell so using them more for housing bacteria 6 medium sized Long neck turtles in there and filter wool has lasted a week so far.

Operational From bottom of pond to top of bucket, bucket 2/3rds full so when pump stops bcket fills to just above the bulkhead with excess water from overflow

Fitted water inlet plumbing, the pond water level overflow is higher than the bucket but base of pond is lower than the bucket Cut sponges to fit tight in bucket, they will be above the pump

That would be the handle on the bucket lol.
