Beware the snapper
A snapping turtle is a deadly aquatic force not to be reckoned with.... introduction of a snapper to your Aquarium is the equivalent of adding 1 Godzilla to 1 Tokyo..The snapper will quickly level your fishy metropolis to a stagnant lifeless rubble... the beasts Ravenous hunger is legendary.. The Unholy shellback will slaughter all who oppose it..Crushing your most powerful fish with its mighty jaws rendering it to a gasping fishhead drifting helplessly through the tank....until it too is consumed.. the tank will soon resemble a snow globe of drifting fishscales and carnage- all done with A brutal finesse and frightening speed. The unrelenting tyrant will dominate all... the killing spree continues until all living creatures in sight are reduced to shreds and digested in the great snappers belly.

One must bow to the overwhelming power that is the snapping turtle.

With all fish gone, You will then be left with a tribute to little shop of horrors... an Audrey II that beckons "Feed me, Seymour , Feed me"
 
I don't think sliders will work with your africans either. They definitely need a basking area heated beyond what your fish would like. I have also seen them relentlessly pursue fish. Best solution for turtles is a cheap kiddie pond with heavy filtration. Try to avoid mixing species and keep singly or possibly a pair. Sliders can get up to 18 inches.

LMAO that was great. I partcularly like the line about my tank being reduced to a snow globe of drifting fishscales and carnage. If I ever get another snapper I'll name him Leonidas!
 
here's a medium sized one.. I took this pic from www.astfoundation.org

a buddy of mine has two in a 150 gallon tub.. they're about 5 years old now, probably a good 14 inches nose to tail... they're ravenous. He's got photos of a massive AST... the guy holding it is about 300lbs, 6'8" and he could easily fit his head in the snapper's mouth.. it's claws are bigger than his fingers, he's holding it up so the head is around shoulder level and the tail is down past his knees.. from what I've heard they can get upwards to 200+lbs..

my buddy is building a 500 gallon pond in his basement for them.. ...still not big enough. They're only 14 inches or so now and ready to eat live chickens.

p.s. ....doesn't that dude have the sweetest mullet ever? :ROFL:
