love the turtle but whats your reasoning behind keeping spoonbill with it?

my paddlefish actually came first. they don't bother each other. my turtles r peaceful and never mess with them.

I just seen a pignise turtle for sale today. About 20 dollarsand about the size of a mans palm. Do they need to exit the water, what do they eat, and is that a good deal for the turtle? Thanks for anything u can tell me about them

That albino is INSANE!!!! < DROOL

wow. 20 dollars??? in the US?? that extremely cheap considering they are very rare and illegal in most countries. they are put in the endangered animals list. yes they need to stay in the water all the time. they live just like fish, in a fish tank with full water levels. they eat pellets, sinking pellets is very much preffered. they are not picky, and should only be kept singly as they will fight very aggresively. the bigger the tank, the better for the turtle. they like sand or small gravels, as they enjoy digging. happy raising fly river turtles.
