I have a freshwater 50 Gal H tank (about 2 ½) feet of water with a few small puffers. I would like to get a couple of turtles to go with them. What is the best freshwater turtle for an aquarium that would only need a turtle dock, would be fine in a few feet of water, and likes to swim around? Thanks so much!
Best Aquarium Turtle?

To be honest, turtles and puffers never really make a good combination (although it has been done before).rothenfluh;3385986; said:
Fly river turtles - to the best of my knowledge - are the only fully aquatic species of turtle available.
Puffer fish would surely nip at the eyes of something like that - or vice verse, in which case the turtle will get ill or die of poisoning from biting the puffer.
Either way it's a bad combo - especially with the high price on fly river turtles.
If you have your heart set on keeping a puffer - expect it to be a single fish in the tank, as all puffers are highly territorial, and will at best shred fins of tank mates.
If you have your heart set on a turtle - invest in a fly river turtle, a larger tank, and there are countless combination's of fish you can keep it with.

Pinkbelly Sidenecks. Graceful swimmers and Fun to watch swim.
When i first started smoking Weed I could watch them for days. Theres something about them/ Even as hatchlings they are born swimmers.

Stinkpots are also pretty much totally aquatic. They dont get very big and they move slow. (Faster than puffers though so I wouldnt recomend it)
