HATCHLING TURTLE CARE. Hatchling and baby turtles can be kept in aquariums or plastic tubs of various kinds. I used a 15 gallon plastic storage tub. Plastic storage tubs are very cheap and work well for temporary homes if you do not want to buy a more expensive aquarium.
All of these are herbivores. (see Reference 6) When they are young, such minnows as lake chub, speckled dace, golden shiner, emerald shiner, and California roach eat plankton. (see References 3 and 4) Other young minnows, such as brassy minnow, hitch, common shiner, and spottail shiner, eat algae.
Minnows & Bait Fish. There are 2 main types of chubs that fishermen use on a regular basis and they are the creek chub and redtail chub. These chubs work very well for a variety of large game fish such as largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, and muskie. They will also catch big smallmouth bass and catfish.
