Thanks Travis! What a compliment. With your skills building, you'll be able to house one with ease! Really cool creatures, like a freshwater seaturtle

That's one lucky FRT to be at your place! Glad to hear he will be flying solo (no pun intended). I always wanted an FRT. Cute lil fella

After reading about Oddball's issues and others, it just wasn't a risk I wanted to take. Especially with the turtle showing nipping from day number 1. Kind of sucked because I would save space by cohabitating with the rays, but this works better anyway. With a high veggie diet, and harder water, I don't think it would have worked well with the rays. I doubt Chahlie would be so enthused about kale if shrimp and perch were dropped in his tank multiple times daily! lol

Worked out for the best!

Awesome, I saw one of these in a specialty store when I was a little kid many years ago, and have always wanted one since. I haven't seen one in person since then. Good luck with this guy

Thank you! I realize this is a lifelong commitment, and I'm all-in! So far this has been a very easy turtle. Healthy shell, active and eats well. It does have an odd sleep schedule, sometimes it will sleep for what seems like days. But then it always wakes up hungry :)

I'll take some more pictures soon. Thank for the comments and feedback everyone!
 
Sexy BD's... FRT... You're like one AUL from being second on my worship list. Vince would be hard to take #1 from.

Thank you Richard! We are trying hard and really putting a lot into building up the collection. It means a lot to have comments like this from you and the east coast MFK crew :) Cool stuff!

Please stay tuned! We have some rare stingray variants that we will share soon, which we are attempting to breed. Hopefully help make them available here in the States.


You make mention of this Vince character? I'm sorry I have never heard of him before!!! :-D
