Plants they won't f with
So I have a yellow bellied slider. He became my mate when his brothers/sisters kept getting run over at a workplace, I would throw. 2-3 back on the lake every day but many were run over by Golf carts and stepped on. So about 7 years later, I have one I brought home and had been in a tank swimming his whole life. As in full water, float on logs when tired. He has never complained more than when I leave him on the floor to exist. He loves the water,and for the longest time liked being fed by us... So I assumed that meant he isn't scared of us. I am curious if I moved to a half water, half plant situation if it would be to drastic for him? I don't want to hurt him, he's obviously family to me at this point. I keep draining his tank to make sure it is clean enough, but I was drawn to thinking, what if. Because he got along with 2 fish he knew as he was young for years. He would kill everything else. Everything. Fish, shrimp, crawfish anything. It his 2 friends, he kept no matter what. 1 died 2 year ago due to a water clean transfer I guess ( or at least I call it my fault). The second died of age or loneliness. Turtileman no longer has friends and I don't know how to broch new friends without him just eating them... Any advice?
I'm thinking maybe plants, cleaning fish and self sufficient, but a turtle says no lol
