hello all, I have a 150 gallon tank that's almost empty, 4x2 footprint. I love to fish, have a couple private ponds by my house chock full of small fish, or will be, come 'real' springtime. anyway, I can and have caught small bass and very small sunfish but I want to ad an alligator snapping turtle. not necessarily native, but close. I do realize they get huge and eat a ton buy theyre fully aquatic and I have the housing. I will be receiving a hatchling and if in case one day I don't have the room the vendor I have found to get it from offers a buy back program where a small hatchling is then returned for the big guy. win-win.
I was just wondering if anyone has done anythig like this. stock-wise I was leaning towards the alligator snapping turtle, loads of small sunfish, small bass if I could manage to catch one, two tops, some marbled crayfish; again, not really native.. but crayfish are and itll provide seeming unlimited snackage for the turtle. ill provide pics of my catches from last year to put a picture in your head.
right now the tank holds one 6 in. red belly piranha, a female convict cichlid, a baby(to small to sex) convict cichlid, one Chinese alge eater and one common pleco. not too spectacular of a stocklist but I wont be adding anything else until the current fish move on
