FRT Diet

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
the downsides are they're really !@#$%ing expensive, and turtle #$% is nastier than fish @#$%.

Also, while many keepers have kept them successfully in fish setups, others have had them take serious bites out of their fish.
 
big 24" 50lbs

ive seen 120(online)-1200(lfs)
 
yes, everyone wants the babies, but very few have the proper space to house them as they get larger
 
Ok, well, what do you think a proper enclosure size is suitable for a full grown adult?

How long does it take for them to reach max size?

Is it better to keep them in a smaller tank as a juv to help with finding food and feeling more secure?
 
not sure on the exact growth rate, but at least 5 years. Maybe 10 to hit full adult size..

they can be kept in 180gs for quite a while (~2-3 years), I think their inherent bioload would require at least a 125g for a very small specimen.
 
YAY I'm a convict!

oops, ok, sorry.

Ayway...

so a 180 for a couple years, is that including I try and keep it with other tank makes?

Or does that mean I need bigger!
 
my knowledge on these turtles is limited because i dont find them desirable, wait around a bit and let neo or redtailfool to get on and elaborate, theyve both kept tons of em

You sell them, or do they die?

Yay for videos.
