Species is exact turtle.

Turned up nose? Did the nose look "pig-like"?

I've seen a turtle like that over here I almost got it cuz it was so cute..it had kinda a flatter shell and a flat head that was a lil square shaped the store had it labeled as "aquatic turtle" and the guy told me they are bred to live inside a fish tank. I was skeptical on getting it because i didn't want to chance it giving a buncha diseases to my fish.

No, they're not dangerous but the do have a powerful bite. They max out at about 4-5 inches SCL.
