i do not have this turtle yet he wants to trade for a big cichlid or 40 bucks. i dont know if i want him

Yeah defiantly not a FRT

It's Apalone spiniferus, the Spiney Softshell turtle. Grows to about 28". Might be a young black ray but, you're probably not going to find a vietnamese species in the US for that price.

get it and put it with your male dovii

well darn knew it was to good to be true when he told me he had a hog nosed soft shell turtle.

Here's a FRT (Carettochelys insculpta):







BTW, for $40, I don't think you could even get a dead FRT.

^^ fact FRT are $300-$700 I believe
