Regarding a Texas turtle and gnats...
My neighbor has a Texas turtle that she's had for 5 years. It lives in a fish tank (that is covered). Anyway, there is a problem with gnats in the tank.
We're trying to research to find out what can get rid of the gnats without hurting the turtle. I was trying to think of an insect that would eat the gnats, such as a Preying Mantis, but Turtles eat insects, so we're not sure which insect might be the answer.
Does anyone know a way of ridding the tank of gnats without hurting the turtle. All suggestions are open, i.e., insects or some other means.
Thanks in advance.
