GARS and F.R.T

[LOPAKA]

just wanted to see if it was a good idea to have a/multiple F.R.T's co-exsist with 1-3 florida gars ? Let me know what you guys think of if you have experience with this combination.... thanks in advance.

Multiple FRTs are a bad combo unless in a huge tank...plus the slow moving gars are easy targets...my FRT used them as chew toys. Killed a Cuban gar as well

agree with the above, definately not something to try

What does FRT stand for?

Excuse the stupid question but when it comes to FW fish I don't know all the acronyms.

I managed to keep two large FRT's together in my 350G that hated eachother in a 180G so it made all the difference, i wouldnt try it unless your tank is 300G++

they will be in a 450g.... thanks. looks like it is do-able

Mine is one of 4 that lived in a 500...and they were always slightly chewed up...although it was 3 males and one female

how do you sex them and any breeding in captivity for these turtles ?
