Fly River Turtle!

[aeri]

I'm using my boyfriend's account to post my cute baby frt whom I've named Bacon. At first we put two tetra's in to see whether or not they were still there after a week. Seeing that Bacon was so tame, we added more tetra's and aeri's flagtail so that he won't be so bored and to make sure the food gets eaten! My cat also loves babysitting them hehe

cute ... don't know much about turtles ... how do these compare to fish on the bioload scale?

I would keep an eye on that flagtail as I've seen them suck on the shells of frt's.

Wow, I'm super jealous! I'd love to have a small FRT! Congrats on an awesome turtle!

Heads up to noobs who want to buy one, they get huge. I have seen one that was 18.5 kilos and 60 cm across the shell. Apparently they can get even larger as well. They are for experienced hobbyists only. Plus, it is a turtle and like most turtles will live for decades.

Is it even legal to get one that small?

In terms of pricing and legality I really have no idea, it was offered to us for free and too cute to resist and I know they can go for quite a bit. This is only a temporary set up and theres a big tub waiting for him in a little while from now
