LOL a standard 180 is 2ft wide. There you go over estimating again! Ya he was the one over estimating all the time.. didnt also try making a native tank but you keep killing the fish before you made it home because you didn't have an air pump? I think you should leave nature alone. Also didn't you want to buy llike 3000 bass and 20 channel catfish to your pond because your loaded and with some rediculous number? Just asking BTW

I need to spark up my fish life

What are you talking about? First off I didn't "keep" killing natives. I not purposely killed 6 natives that I was told would survive. But the person who told me only had fish last overnight in very large water amounts. Not a 5 gallon bucket. I wasn't aware of this. Second, I had thought a 180 was that size. I'm sorry I don't know the exact dimensions. But that's not my fault. I never said I wanted to buy 3000 bass. I was looking into pond stocking and a pond my size was recommended to have If I recall correctly it was 1000 bass. And the website had a stocking package. Which it was that. 3000 bass would be outrageous. My pond is used for fishing and that's why I was thinking of fish in this amount. Not my fault. I also at the time wasn't aware of the size of the bass that are already in my pond. Which have babies every spring. I didn't realize at the time how crazy it was. But my pond is perfectly stocked. Besides catfish. I have only caught 2 catfish out of there and one was a 1 pound yellow bullhead and the other was a like 3 pound channel cat. That was why I was looking into catfish stocking. Actually I believe someone recommended putting in a crap load of bass and a couple catfish to have huge fish in there.

He claimed that he grew out the turtles.....so why he don't have these turtles right now since they are long lived?

I had a pastel red eared slider, and two common male red eared sliders that reached about 5–6" before I sold them because they were getting too big for my current tank. Which was the 55. And because I had my first two jack dempseys and I really started to get into fish. So I converted to fish.

My small 1/2" musk turtle randomly died. His eyes turned white or something like that and he was sick when I got him. Not my fault.

So his eyes were already white when you put it in the tank? Then why'd you keep him? Otherwise you can't determine it wasn't your fault.

Then why you are getting a snapper which get larger than these turtles you owned in the past? Don't you have an oscar that needs a upgrade?

This thread is giving me cancer. How do you expect to move him to the 55g or a much larger one down the road when you STILL haven't moved your fish to a larger tank? Even at that size your 3 gallon tank or whatever it is in is too small for it. Hell a 10g tank is like $12-14 and I bet you could get a 20g or so for just as much off craigslist. If you can't do something as simple as that then you should really put him back. Sure hes small and a small tank may look like its fits but it doesn't. This reminds me of how many RES were abused and kept in those tiny turle "lagoons" and fishbowls because they were small and fit. Well what happens when that tiny turtle gets too big? It either suffers and dies or it gets dumped in a pond or something.

I have a bunch of spare tanks. I have I believe three 10 gallons and about three 5 gallons. I haven't moved the turtle to a 10 because he is currently in a 3 gallon with two minnows and a breeding stock of snails. He still has his yolk sack and has more than likely never eaten anything before in his life. So I'm trying to get him to eat the minnows and some snails. Then put him in a tank so he has a better chance of catching the fish. I would rather him eat some fish before going in a 10 gallon where he will be surrounded by small fish. He hasn't even eaten a snail for all I know.
