haha... nope... just the madness found on google... i wouldnt subject my cat to a nile softshell... heres some pics of my florida softshell and catFISH tho. Tank with window is a 1400 gal and the last 2 pics are a 10' diamater pool.






Turtle was a rescue from a lfs 20gal... owner told me if i could pick it up bare handed it was mine for free... was only around 8-10" at the time so i took it lol... been with me 7 yrs now.

Sure if you plan on upgrading the florida softshell to a 300+ gallon in the future as they get pretty big and dont mind possibly losing a fish or two... id recommend maybe a small musk/mud turtle species for ur 75 gallon. Sounds like its already pretty stocked tho...ur clown knife alone will outgrow the tank. I say upgrade the tank and fish u have and research a turtle/setup appropriate for ur 75 gallon. Theres alot of info on faunaclassifieds that could be helpful.
