O well looks like if they grow that big I will need a new tank :-D. Do turtles accept a wide ph level just think it could go in my 7ft when I get it which will hopefully have a ph of around 7.0?

I kept a florida softshell with fish for 5 years - it grew from 2" to 13" carapace length - I housed it in a very large tank and everyso often it would bite a fin or a small piece of flesh from the fish - eventually it turned into a fish killer and then had to go .
Yours could well be an african softshell - very nice if it is too - beautiful - I wouldn't worry about the hi pH, it will do it the worlkd of good - as long as it's not too extreme.
Try and get it eating pelleted food as soon as you can - I have found that turtles that eat pellets are less likely to attack fish - initially

It was sold as a african soft shell and was £75 so think thats the right price for a african softshell? I bought some mixed turtle food and it ate one pellet then started to just eat the shrimp. Do you think it was use the landing ramp I bought it but I havent seen it using it yet. I am getting a 7ftx3ftx2ft tank soon with arowana's, ray etc in so think it could live with them at a PH of 7.0?
He is a beautiful turtle.. and this has been very interesting to learn about.. so what kind did everyone decide that he is??
