Just got him yesterday, he apparently lived long term with 3"-5" fish so taking the gamble and seeing how he goes with my big guys.
Yeah, so I've read. Quite happy with him, seems like a giant version of my three stripe mud turtle who cohabs nicely as well. This guy apparently was basking fairly often according to the previous owner, so we'll see if that remains the case.Probably not going to attack anyone, this is a rather peaceful turtle species, oddly they rarely bask, but still require uvb light as all turtles do
They're all scared of him, as he's nipped a bit of all their fins. No serious damage, but the anal fins on both severums are dulled and my gouramis tail filaments are gone, etc. My bichirs, vulture catfish, and fire eel haven't been bothered by him though.I'd be more worried about the large fish picking at him than vice versa; however they appear fairly calm.
I too am curious how it’s all worked out.
How big is she now?
How did this end up working out?
