I love those things!! lfs has one that I hold every other time I am there. You sure its sutable for fully aquatic? They have a layer of muscle below there shell. I imagine it would be difficult to get tankmates sutable for them. If they are to aggresive then the softshell part is a consern, and since they hunt, slow fish are outFried_fish said:
softshell will most likely kill all fish that are put in with it and it either needs shallows or a place to rest with its head above water without swimming
I keep Herbie with all of my pikes, all he is interested in are the algae wafers really. Tis a really low maintence turtle....i got lucky and did a trade of some of my fish for him. All yaz have to do is keep up on waterchanges, give lots of veggies, and 'scrub' their shell once every other week or so to keep algae off. I use a sponge...
. But yeah, FRT are AWESOME! Gotta love em! I know i love Herbie!
