Opinion on turtles?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
RES?.I like turtles but it's always risky keeping the two together.
 
Best bet is to give them to someone set up for turtles or trade them in to your lfs. These terrapins require special lighting and basking areas. And, eventually they will grow into fish maulers and killers.These RES turts will reach the foot-long mark and they're carnivores. Feeding on fish, crustaceans, mollusks, worms,and insect larvae.
 
Not a good mix for fish I keep turtles as well and use to keep them with fish lost my favorite green terror to a RES it's not worth it. But you should keep them and set up in another tank!

They don't need to eat the entire poly. A single test bite can tear a large amount of flesh or cut the spinal column. The end result is still a dead poly. I had a 5" turtle take a bite out of the back of a 2 foot AUL. The AUL died from its wound.
