I saw those, I wanted to buy one of the hard shell turtles, black with yellow pattern, those are siiick! Nowhere to put it though. I got laughed at for taking pics, probably the same way I'd laugh if I saw someone taking picture of bacon at the store


Hope the turtle does well for you Joey, let me know how it does with the endli and congicus.

Maybe when it get's some size but for now it leaves all my fish alone? I can't see this guy killing any of my big Pbass. He may try to nip at them but I haven't seen any such behavior. My fish would have nipped fins or split fins but that's before I put the turtle in there. Whatever nipped fins are on my fish now it's not from the turtle.

Now, would I suggest keeping this fish with fish that can fit in it's mouth, heck no.. this guy has no problem chasing down a feeder goldfish. But with BIG fish why not..

cool.
keep us posted.
i had a friend have a baby softshell take a chunk out of one of his big monos...
