SE Asian Aquatic Turtles?

Does anyone know of any that aren't endagered and that I can put in a 55gal? I've been doing searches on the net and have found a few things, but I know there's more.

I guess I should add they also need to be available to the US

NOT IN A 55G!
A Chinese Softshell will require a 90G minimum as an adult male. Females, you're talking 120G. And they still need a basking spot and UVB lighting.

you buy them from chinese fish markets. They are used in soups and other stuff, just tell the guy to not whack it. They are not as cute as frts but I guess they are freshwater.
