so does that mean i can keep one in my community tank or no? i saw a website that sells them for pretty cheap n i wanna order one so bad cuz i never seen a turtle like this. but i dont wanna get it if its not safe for him or my fish.

Guess you missed the 2 parts describing them as 'carnivorous' with fish being included in their diet.

i noticed it, but so are red-ear slyders n ive had 30 in my tank with multiple fish. but i never even seen a long necked turtle before so i dont kno there usual actions in home aquaria with tank mates being community fish.

but im guessing your trying to say, "no, they can not be in a community tank like a FRT since they like to eat fish"

I wouldn't keep them with anything I might miss.

where do u guys get these frt's!!!!!! is there a site i can go to? pm some info please.

totally agree. they are a more herbivorous aquatic turtle feeding heavily on mangrove apples and cluster figs in the wild, but do eat mollusks, carrion and live fishies when they can get them. some keepers have told me theirs only eat dead fish, but you never know.
